Condolence: I enjoyed working with Mary at Milton Library for several years and enjoyed her warm and always happy company. My very sincere sympathy goes out to all her family.

Condolence: Mary, you were truly a special lady, and you will be very much missed. You embraced and loved me unconditionally, guiding me in the literary world with your amazing knowledge, never lacking a new title to recommend. Always caring about others welfare even in your end days, I will always treasure the few moments we had that girl chat, your smile will forever be with me. Till we meet again rest in peace

Condolence: To Mary's family my sincere condolences now that Mary is gone to join her parents in a very special place. Mary was a wonderful woman with a great big heart, a fantastic sense of humor and always had a great smile on her face. Mary you will be greatly missed by your neighbours and friends. Liz and Sylvia

Condolence: Dearest Mary My big cousin as kids we looked up to you as the oldest Tabbert family cousin. We went to Sudbury for our summer holidays. We walked to Bell Park every night and Mary would tell us the name of every flower. We swam at Lake Ramsey and went to shows at the amphitheatre. We followed the sweet waft of bread coming from the bakery. We walked downtown through the tunnel. We sewed Barbie clothes. We baked and baked and baked some more. We watched the slag dump from the front step of 17 Douglas St. We crocheted in our red robes and drank tea. Did she really enjoy children or was she just an obedient daughter. I can hear her laugh, she loved her Daddy and he would hug her oh so tight! She so loved to read and you could talk to her about any topic. She was going to come to see some art exhibits with us at the NAG. My dearest Mary "Sometimes waves of relief pass over me.Cleanse,relax and take me away,I am adrift free and gone. I send no regrets, I wish you the best, But now I must rest!" Poet Peter Treboutat Treboutat

Condolence: Farewell my smiling friend. I will always remember your grace, dignity, sunny disposition and especially your wicked sense of humour. My deepest sympathy to the Zadow family.

Condolence: My condolences go out to Mary's family. I worked with Mary for many years at the library and remember her wonderful baking and her incredible memory. She will be missed by all who knew her.

Condolence: Mary,It has been many years since we spent very much time together, but you are still missed. I miss you always flogging the latest mystery book, always being patient as we crocheted and sewed togther, and always being willing to share a good meal. You supported me both personally and professionally when I lived in Milton.. and I often wished you were still close after I moved to Ottawa. I promise to sing one round of "Down by the Bay" for you (you always commented on that song,not always in a flattering way when I used it in storytime) You were a great friend! Love Jane

Condolence: I am so sorry for your loss. Mary is going to be missed so very much by all of her friends at MPL. She was a very extraordinary woman and it was always wonderful to listen to her stories. I feel very lucky to have known Mary.

Condolence: Goodbye good friend. You will be missed. Mary's love of books and shoes was legendary. My deepest sympathy to her family.

Condolence: Mary was a dear colleague from my days at Milton Library. We worked together on Wednesday nights and sometimes on nice days in the summer we would go up to Springridge for our dinner. I will always remember her for her love of books and reading. My deepest sympathy to Mary's family.
