A poem by Hafiz for mom found in her apartment:
You Don't Have to Act Crazy Anymore
You don't have to act crazy anymore-
We all know you were good at that.
Now retire my dear,
From all that hard work you do
Of bringing pain to your sweet eyes and heart.
Look in a clear mountain mirror-
See the beautiful ancient Warrior
And the Divine elements
You always carry inside
That infused the universe with sacred Life
So long ago
And join you Eternally
With all Existence - with God!
Hafiz

It will be her kindness, her wonderful sense of humour, and what I felt when she squeezed my hand that will stay with me always.

I am lighting candles everyday, thinking of you and all that you mean to me and those who you have met. Your message has always been how important ones children are. That has been shown by your unconditional love!

Been lighting candles for you all week! Love you and thank you for everything!

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Watson Family and all who knew and loved Mary. May God give you all strength during this difficult time. Rest in Peace Mary.

I too met Mary 44 years ago when I began coming every week from Rochester, New York to visit the Society for Traditional Studies, where Mary was in charge of the children's activities. Mary and I often worked together and talked about our own children and wrote poetry about our lives, so I knew something about the hard years she had lived through in her youth and  her joy at being free and independent later in life--free to enjoy her children and grandchildren.
     I didn't see her during her last years, but remember her with admiration and warm affection.

Dearest Mary whom I first met about 44 years ago when she was the pre-school teacher at The University Settlement House in Toronto.  I dropped off my son one day a week and brought home made healthy cookies, that began our conversations.  A few years later I again met
Mary and her mother Margo Dustin at the Society for Traditional Studies in Toronto..from that time on we were friends.  She will never be forgotten.  Many memories including 2 summer holidays when we rented a cottage with our two children on Snake Island and had many visits with Mary and Margo on sunny days sharing lunch and reading together.
My best wishes to her three sons and her grandchildren during this time.  Mary led a full  rich life and will always be remembered by many.
Martha and Thom Henrickson

Mary was a beautiful person with such a bright, endearing and passionate personality. She was a one of a kind grandma and will always be remembered by her friends, loved ones, and anyone else who had the pleasure of knowing her. 
 -her eldest Grandaughter Hannah

I don't think I've ever seen anyone with as much life in them as my grandmother. She will be greatly missed, but she will live on in our memories and through our stories of her.

My mother was a beautiful human being, a beautiful woman, a beautiful mother and a beautiful friend
Till we meet again
Her loving son John
