Oh Mary, where do you start. You were ne in a million. An amazing, helpful, caring neighbour who then became a great friend. Mary would do anything for anyone, no matter how inconvenient to herself. Her no nonsense approach to life and, honesty was refreshing! We had such fun on our camping trips, and shared many an evening chatting about anything and everything over a glass of red. I will greatly miss Mary's sound advice, sense of humour, her laugh and companionship. God bless you Mary. XX

Dearest Mary, I admired you for your energy and your selfless giving of your time volunteering for Help the Aged and other events at church or in the community. I always looked forward to seeing you, and we always had a laugh. You loved the ladies at Higham on the Hill Craft Group and they loved you! You were patient, accepting and cheerful recovering from your knee op and through your last year of illness. I miss you a lot and keep you and you family in my prayers. Love Debbie (and Dave and Tilly, who loved you too)

Mary was a lovely lady and she always had a word of encouragement about my photography. During my time as Chief Photographer with The Hinckley Times our paths would often cross.
She will be sadly missed, my sincere condolences to her family and friends.

Dearest Mary, such a unique person. There was no one else quite like her. We’ve spent many happy and sad times together. You will be sadly missed by so many. Your ‘Nearly opposite’ neighbours which led to 34 years of friendship. Rest in peace Mary xxxx

Dear Mary..
I do hope you are having fun .
Having first met you at Jeffreys 80th birthday ...and explaining to me why I couldn't give Jeffrey a bottle of Irish whiskey....I fell in love with a strong..honest..caring..funny beautiful and intelligent woman..
I shall miss our curry evening and our little drinky poos.....I shall miss your fantastic wisdom and your sense of humour....I shall miss your friendship....your expressive facial expressions...your hugs ..
We had fun going to see the blockheads and we had a exciting time you levi and myself went to the jewellery quarter...
I'll miss you...and pray that one day i'll find you, if I manage to be let in those pearly gates....
Rest in peace" Mk ultra..."
And if I ever see a burning bush...Ill know its you.
Love and peace .
