Skinnamarink

I noticed that Sharon, Lois & Bram performed Skinnamarink at their final show last week.  It brought back fine memories of singing that with Mary.

Love you!

 

Getting Ready for the Miracle Child

Mary and Darren renovated the house in Kitchener to get ready for the new arrival.

I came over to help do some drywall and flooring.

Mary picked out the bed and we put it together. It is Oct

Upcoming Celebration

It would be about this time of year that Mary was so excited about having a baby. Darren was as well. The love they had for each other at that time was vibrant and alive. Their love for an unborn child was united.

Keep Smiling Was How Mary Lived Her Life

 

Mary had the greatest sense of humor. When others would lament their lot in life, Mary would find some humor in something.

Often she would call and just ask to be told a story. Anything for her to escape the challenges of her life. Her stoic manner, soften by humor came, it always seemed, without pressure or a feeling of being contrived. Mary was “real” in every sense.

This is one of her posts on Facebook that I pass on.

Third Grade Report Card

Mary was an excellent student. She studied hard and was very smart.

Her talents showed well in art and writing. I still have many of her drawings from early childhood and will post over time.

Here is her 3rd grade report card.

Yes, Mary, you should be very proud of your efforts.
