My friend Mary
1982 was a special year for me, I moved into Grasmere Rd & met the most amazing woman, Mary Sawyer.
Over the years we shared many cups of coffee while enjoying a good natter. We often sat in each others gardens & I would marvel at her "Begonias" !! She loved visiting the garden centre & we joked for her, it was like being a child in a sweetie shop.
Mary loved her family & worked hard to support Sharon & Stephen over the years. She was so proud of how they had grown into two wonderful adults. Her family brought her so much joy.
Mary had an open door, she was there for everyone & all her friends were made welcome. I will never forget Christmas, on christmas morning her lounge was bursting with friends & neighbours enjoying a drink & nibble together, she just loved the celebrations. Once or twice I was "Mary'd, leaving her gatherings slightly merry......what a lady!!
I could go on with my stories, but all who knew her would agree that she was a "one-off". Someone who will be in many peoples hearts forever, she will be in mine until we meet again. Love you Mary xx
