She will be missed:
I met Mary over two years ago and my life changed for the better. Mary was a thoughtful person, warm and caring; she always made sure that you were taken care of when you were there to care for her!
In the home care business that I run it is rare that I experience a family that is truly commitment to giving there loved one genuine love and care. Her family was a very big support system for her they were always there and she lacked for nothing in her life. I truly believe that’s why Mary was able to live a rich and full life for as long as she did, she was always ready for the next dance.
Mary was loved by all that met her she was truly a big part of the Home Helpers family. She will be remembered and missed for a long time to come.
My deepest sympathy goes out to the family, and my warmest thanks for the privileges of caring for your Mom. Love Peg
RIP Aunt Mary
