Aunty Mary you were the best aunt anyone could ask for I know you are up in heaven with all our families having a laugh, a sherry with Mum and looking to see if they have a pokies machine. Those loved are never lost.

Mary, and her family, were the heart of the Solo Parents Group and she was the glue that kept us meeting up for many years. A special lovely lady and we had such fun with lots of happy memories. My deepest sympathy to all the family.

I remember Aunty Mary so well even though she wasn't my aunty
I remember her bubbly outlook on life
Her house always open to so many teens
Her bare feet or jandals
I was so fond of her
My love to all her family xxx
