Noreen, Bruce, Josh, Caleb and Tatum:
While Bruce''s final call regarding Mary was not unexpected, it still brings the stark realization Noreen''s mother will not be an active part of your family in the future. However, your memory of her will last forever. I can only imagine those will be great and endearing. We wish all of you the fondest memories and hope that will ease your sorrow as your lay Noreen''s mother to rest.

I have the fondest memories of 81 years with Mary as we met when we were just 12 years old. We have shared many years of joy and sadness and were always there for each other as best friends are. I loved Mary very much and will miss her with all my heart and never forget her. Mary will be be in my thoughts and prayers every day and I will always feel a special place with her family.
Forever Friends, Phyllis MacDonald
