Mary was my grandmother's cousin. On behalf of Marys Finnish relatives in Ikaalinen I send our deepest condolences. Unfortunately we only met a couple of times. It was an honor and privilege to kow you and have you as a relative, Mary. Rest in peace. Mary oli isoaitini serkku. Ikaalisissa olevien suomalaisten sukulaisten puolesta lahetan syvimman osanottomme. Valitettavasti tapasimme vain pari kertaa. Oli kunnia ja etuoikeus tuntea sinut sukulaisenaan, Mary. Lepaa rauhassa.

What can you say about a family matriarch? Mary was a Grand Lady who lived her life her way. I found her stories and trips fascinating. I was fortunate to spend a couple of days with her just before her death. She & I talked about so many issues, family, travels & even religion (which was always our favorite topic next to memories she had of my son, Jon-Paul). It was my honour and privilege to have had her in my life. Mary, I hope you were pleasantly surprised.
