Scott, Leigh & Craig:
Was very sad news indeed to hear that Mary had passed. The Plants have many great memories with the McDonalds on Sherry Lane and of course Barrow Bay. Life goes by so quickly.
Will miss Mary’s sharp wit. She had such a great sense of humour and of course she was always right!
Please accept my sincere sympathy

Dear Scott, Leigh, Craig and your families:
I am very sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. She brings back many, many memories for me, all of which are good and bring a smile to my face. Your mom and dad were both such great people and very good friends of my parents, the Browns and everyone else in the Grandwoodland’s family of friends. This photograph is exactly the way I remember your mother, with a great big smile on her face! Treasure your memories of her, they will last forever. Strength to you all and best wishes.
