Mary another Birthday passed but what joy you continue to bring to my heart. We as sisters talk about you year round and how greatly you impacted all our lives. Sure miss you! Love Teresa
Happy birthday Big Sis!!! Spent the morning volunteering at the Food Bank with 9 year old granddaughter Grace. She made a painted rock of a carrot to take to the Food Bank with us today. A very thoughtful kid; you would have loved her and she you. Miss you always Wanda
Dear Mary: I found knitted Barbie clothes; just like the ones you used to make for Judy and I. I bought them for granddaughter Grace and for Lynda to give to her granddaughter Emma. Your talents live on through another generation.
I tried my hand at planting bulbs in the fall this year; crocus, tulips, daffodils, star flowers and muscari. I won't ever be able to compete with your gardens, but I am following in your footsteps.
Another birthday celebration without you. Enjoyed watching old videos of Christmas past recently. Loved seeing you and hearing your voice. You were taken from us so early. Take good care of Mom and Dad. Love Wanda
July 24 - My precious sister Mary’s birthday. Twenty-two years in heaven with You. Hallelujah!!! Father You greatly blessed me with a second mom.❤️Mary I wrote this in my journal. I celebrated your birthday in my heart. You will be forever loved & greatly missed but God knew what was best for you.❤️Love Teresa❤️
I was sitting with my coffee looking out at the lake this morning, feeling so close and missing you so much. This would have been our birthday weekend together. Went with Gina and Emma to the art and craft show in town. The displays reminded me of the creative talent you had, always sharing with others. Forever in my heart. Lynda
Happy Birthday, Mary! I hope you & Mom & Dad are having fun playing games!!!! I know you’re also in your glory raising K’s twins. We’re all as good as can be expected in this messed up world, lol. You’re not missing much… a pandemic and a war. We foster on, buoyed by the laughs you gave us, and your indomitable spirit!!! We love and miss you!
Mary another year has passed. This year on your birthday it was raining here and reminded me of the camping trip we had. Going to the park and finding this great camp site, so we thought, until it rained in the nite and we woke up in a great big puddle . Then we knew why the great spot was empty. Missing you. Love Lynda
Moved back to my home away from home. Thinking of you more and more as I remember our shopping trips, gardening tips and how you welcomed me to live with you temporarily. Miss your warm smile and good advice. Love you. Miss you always. Love Wanda
Dear Mary: We are on the move again; this time to Cobourg, where we will have lots of family/friends to keep us company. Not quite like going home to Port Hope, but close enough.
Would love you to have still been here to help with my gardens and have you close by. You are forever in my heart and I treasure the great memories I have of you. Love Wanda
Thinking of you on your birthday and the holiday time we would be now spending together. Great food, laughs, adventure and solving the world problems. Who would have thought this year the coronavirus pandemic. Always missing you
Happy birthday sis (aka other Mom). Spent a glorious day with friends exploring Sandbanks, Picton, Presquile. Reminded me of your camping days with the family. Love you always and forever.
Happy Birthday, Mary! Sending wishes to Heaven! I’m imagining us Cooper women are playing an all-night Scrabble game around the Beech Lake table. And you’re winning! Love Judy
On May 3rd your dear niece Gina set up Zoom for us so our family could be together and celebrate our love for you. Though it has been 20 years you are forever in our hearts.
In the year of the 2020 pandemic, hugs are what we are missing most. I need one of your long hugs, which made you forget what was going on around you. We had a family ZOOM meeting in your honour today; sisters, brother-in-laws, nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews too all dropped in for a visit. Love you always and forever. Wanda
Mary, on your anniversary I always must remind myself to be more like you. Your kindness, optimism and selflessness will always be remembered. Love Judy
It is a beautiful sunny day; the flowers are blooming; the chipmunks and squirrels have been fed with their daily dose of peanuts. You are looking down on us with your heavenly smile, lighting up our world. Love you always and forever. Wanda
The ice is still in the lake but the ducks have returned swimming along the shore. I know how much you enjoyed watching them. Seeing them makes so many memories come back and how much I miss you. XXOO
Hard to believe it has been 19 years since I was able to hug you, see your smiling face and laugh with you. God is taking care of you but you are still in my heart. xxoo
Missing you. The sisters just spent three days together, laughing, talking, playing games and sharing memories. You are missed more and more. Love you. Wanda
Spent the day recently with our sisters and went to see Victoria play in the La Jeunesse Youth Orchestra. You would be very proud of her and all her accomplishments at age 15. Her musical talents shine through in this grandchild too; just like Richard's. Spring has finally arrived and I am still missing your gardening advise. Miss you. Love you. Your baby sis Wanda
remembering those days in residence at P'bo, Whitby and Sick Kids. Remembering you as bridesmaid at my wedding 55 years ago! So many more. You live on in those memories.
So happy to have been able to spend a few days with Shelley & Richard. He has grown up - 6' 4" - to be a fine young man with many of your musical talents. Hard to believe it has been 17 years since I've been able to spend time with you on your birthday. Your smiling face and warmth will always be with me. Your baby sis Wanda
May 3rd is certainly a day of mixed emotions. Our anniversary but your calling home. I'm always sharing about you and your amazing love. God knew how so special you were to me. He had another Mary give me a bracelet with Teresa on it. Your mothering love for me began as a young girl. My forever treasure. Love You Forever Teresa
I'm sure you will forgive me for being a day late. Spent the evening with two of the grandchildren - laying on the dock, dipping toes in the cold water, looking at the clouds, colouring, and playing hide and go seek - all things you have enjoyed with your kids, the Brownies, Girls Scouts and Alicia. Kids are always a breath of fresh air and they certainly helped me to not be so sad. Hugs and kisses. Wanda
Mary, I'm sorry I didn't stop by yesterday, May 3rd. I always find it so hard to visit your site because I cry every time. What a TRIBUTE to you that it still hurts so much, even after 17 years. You are so very SPECIAL, leaving such a strong imprint on so many of us. And I always leave with renewed RESOLVE to be more like you. Love Your Sis, Judy PS- When I see you in heaven you really must teach me how to garden.
Mary I met a new friend who too had an older sister named Mary and she too was a Registered Nurse. Her sister was a mom to her just like you were to me. I think God put us together to comfort each other. So much joy and tears we shared but God wanted you with Him. We will be together again. Love You Forever! Teresa
The trees are budding, flowers are poking their heads up through the ground.....you are in heaven tilling God's gardens for all to enjoy. Miss your smile, your hugs, your advice.
Thinking of you today and the wonderful blessing you were to me even as a young girl. Your heart overflowed with love and kindness. You set an amazing example for us all to follow. You are greatly missed.
