Please accept my condolences on the loss of Mary.
I have known her for many years at Zurich P.S. in my role as Area Resource Teacher. More recently, we were reacquainted at Hensall P.S. when she did secretarial work. Mary had spirit and a good sense of humour. I will miss her.

Dear George and family,
My sincere condolences on your loss. When I think of Mary, I think of a great lady with a zest for life and a passion for her family, grandchildren and community. She dedicated her life to helping generations of children at Zurich Public School, for cheering on Zurich kids at thousands of hockey games, and for offering free advice to referees as well! She brought a smile to everyone who knew her, and she will be missed.
With sympathy

Dear George and family, Sorry for the lose of Mary in your lives. I will always remember her smiling face and jolly personality, when I worked with her as a supply secretary at Zurich and Hensall Public Schools during her semi-retired years. I did not have the privilege to work with Mary before she retired. It was always obvious to me that her family meant everything to her. Mary’s face lit up, whenever she talked about her grandchildren. My sympathy to the Haggitt family, Sandy Wondergem
