Dear Mary Luanne and family,

  We were  sorry to learn about the loss of Mary. She was always so friendly and interested in what was happening within our families. I remember when we were first married she went out to Brookside with others from the area and loved playing basketball and volleyball. She was a great example of keeping an active mind and body. She was a good friend to Margaret for many years. Please accept our sincere condolences.

Dear Mary Luanne and family,

Indeed Mary was a special, helpful, caring, entertaining person. She was my mom's best friend. With Mary and her brother, Fr.Lloyd's help I was able to attain a position as Fr. Carlo Bianchi's( he became a true friend who assisted Fr. Caruana marry Tom and me)housekeeper for two summers during school. Again with their help I found a place with a good family while in Kitchener for a summer. We all appreciated Mary's friendship, help, interest and witty comebacks. You will have so many good memories of a loving mom and grandmother. Rest In Peace, Mary.❤️

Mary was such an awesome lady! We had the pleasure to meet her while visiting the Maitland Manor residents in our role as Eucharistic ministers from St. Peter's Church. Everytime Mary was present in our celebrations she filled us with joy! She possessed a genuine, effervescent personality that caused us to smile. Mary enthusiastically participated with her beautiful voice and was always so glad to see us. She repeatedly expressed her appreciation of our visits. She truly made our day brighter. When she found out that we were retired teachers she shared life memories of her years at Kingsbridge. We cannot help but wonder how many students that this loving soul had touched throughout her years. She will be sadly missed. Although it is so difficult to lose a loved one, we hope that her family will take comfort knowing that Mary is now in the loving hands of our Lord. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
