She was compassionate and nurturing to those around her and her laugh was heartwarming. We will dearly miss her but will remember her and smile when wearing the lovely hat she made me, when we entertain using all the lovely pottery she gave us, when we eat rumballs or shepherd’s pie, and when we gaze out at the lake up north.Her life was cut way too short, but she lived its width fully. There will always be a place for her in our hearts. Our lives were touched by Mary Lee. We are sending our love to Warren, Eric, Blair, Bryan and family during this most devastating time.
