Marybeth and family, Please accept my sincere sympathy on the death of your mother. The obituary captured her spirit perfectly as I so remember her for that 'wonderful sense of humour and kindness she showed to others' as a John McCrae parent. On Sunday I had dinner with Mary Goulin and we both fondly remembered our times with you and your mother. Sincerely, Ron Mutton

To MaryBeth, my life long friend, Our families have known each other our entire lives and your mom was always someone I admired and loved. I have so many fond memories of your mom sitting at the kitchen table on Matthew Brady and sharing with us as young girls the "no nonsense way" of life. You took such good care of her MB, always making sure she had the best care! My heart aches for you, it is a great loss! My sincerest condolences to you, your girls, Jim, Marilyn and families. Love Sue and family

Dear Marilyn,Marybeth,Jim and Family: I am sorry for you loss. Please accept my condolence. I met your Mom with Jane and she was a wonderful woman, a very bright candle. Lauren White

Dear Marilyn, MaryBeth, Jim & families, I'm not quite sure where to begin --- your Mom and my family go WAY BACK!!! In fact, I was told that I wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for your Mom. She introduced my Mother and Father (Bob) and the rest is history. I will never forget her coming over to Michigan to help take care of my Mom when she was ill. That meant more than I can ever say. My visits to see your Mom meant so much - just wish there had been more of them. It's not easy to loose parents (as I know) but their memories live on forever. I know she will be in mine.

Marilyn, Jim, Maribeth and families: My deepest sympathy in the loss of your Mom. Shirley was a truly classy lady with a wonderful sense of humour, it was a priviledge to know her and be her neighbour for so many years. Gail

Roger and I send our deepest condolences to Marybeth, Marilyn, and Jim and their families. She was a great lady! The Chappus family

Dearest Marybeth, The Cameron Family wishes you our deepest condolences to you & your family... Hang on to the memories of your Mom. God Bless! Sincerely, Betty, Sherrie,Darlene & Sandy [Riverside Friends.]

She sure did make growing up on Matthew Brady quite a memorable one! Your mom told it like it was and always took great care of her neighbours. Lotsa Love'n Smiles remembering your fantastic Mom. Sincerely Denise,Lisa,Chris,Elena,Stacy and Julie Berneche.

Marybeth: Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of sorrow.

Marybeth---Our Love and Prayers go out to you, your family and your mom. Just pray for me and I will be there. You can not see me but I am always with you. Sending Love and a Prayer to you and your family Pete and Laura
