The family would like to thank all the doctors and nurses and staff at Grace Hospital, Health Sciences Centre, Concordia Hospital and Riverview Health Centre as well as the nurses and homecare workers that came to the house for all the extra love and care they provided Mary. We would also like to thank family members and friends who faithfully provided care and compassion during this difficult time.

When I am gone, release me, let me go I have so many things to see and do, You mustn't tie yourself to me with tears, Be happy that we had so many years. I gave you my love, you can only guess How much you gave to me in happiness. I thank you for the love you each have shown But now it's time I traveled on alone. So grieve a while for me if grieve you must; Then let your grief be comforted by trust, It's only for a while that we must part, So bless the memories within your heart. I won't be far away for life goes on; So if you need me, call me and I will come, Though you can't see me or touch me, I'll be near All of my love around you soft and clear. And then, when you must come this way alone, I'll greet you with a smile and say "Welcome Home". "BUTTERFLIES ARE FREE TO FLY - FLY AWAY"
