Our condolences . Love and prayers !
We always enjoyed visiting with Mary. She had such a wonderful sense of humour. She will be missed by so many. We are praying for all of you.
Mary was a good friend of mine. She always liked visiting with people. I will miss her but will enjoy seeing her smiling face in pictures. My sympathies to all of you.
My Deepest Sympathy to Mary’s family. She was a wonderful friend and will be missed! My prayers for all the family.
Thinking about your family at this time. Your mom was a great lady with a smile on her face all the time !!
Tim, Diane & the extended Vellacott family…May the blessing of beautiful memories of your Mom give you strength and peace as you say farewell.
Aunt Mary was a shining star. I enjoyed our many phone calls. She always put a smile on my face. The reunion in heaven would have been grand. Love to the Vellacott family.
My heart is with your whole family. May God comfort you…your mom is in a better place.
I got to know Mary at a ladies retreat. She was a very warm and special woman. I will miss her sense of humour and love for games and people. We are so sorry for you loss and will be praying for the family.
Our sincere sympathy on the passing of your Mum, and Grandmother.
Very sorry for the loss of your mother, she was a great and very friendly lady, we missed her in town.
Dear Maurice, Clint, Tim and Families. Your mom always had a big warm smile and ready hug for me whenever I saw her. I so appreciated your parents love and support when my grandparents both passed away. Your mom lived simply but loved largely. May beautiful memories of a life well lived bring comfort over these days. Love and prayers, Menno and Lynn Janzen
Maurice, Tim, Randy, Clinton, Lincoln, Joy and families, we were so sad to hear that Auntie Mary passed on but very comforting to know that she is in a wonderful place. She was a beautiful lady & will always be remembered for the endless love that she gave so freely. Our prayers are with you.
The years have been many since Mary and Edgar became a part of our ‘extended family’ through the marriage of Marilyn and Lincoln. Mary and Edgar were good friends of Mom(Pat) and Dad Daku(Henry- who passed away in April 2019) sharing grandchildren, the work of Kenosee Lake Bible Camp, farming stories, travels and faith in the Lord! We all as a Daku family also got to know the Vellacott family over the years and grieve with you all at the passing of Mary. May your knowing that she is now in her Forever Home bring you comfort and peace!
Most recently I reflect also on a couple of phone conversations that I had with Mary over the past number of months. I was amazed and encouraged by her faith, in spite of the hardships she was experiencing. Her love for each of her children/spouses and grandchildren/great-grandchildren AND her love for the Lord was completely evident in our conversations. She was also interested to know how I was doing – which speaks to what I have heard others also express, that Mary enjoyed very much talking with others and finding out about their lives.
You all have been much in our prayers and thoughts too! What a rich, Godly heritage the Vellacott family has, To God be the Glory! (That is something I am sure both Mary and Edgar would have both said as they were leaving this life for Heaven).
Thank you so much for making sure we were always up to date on our beloved Auntie Mary.We miss her already. We will be reunited again. Your mom was a very special lady, I loved her boldness and her and I could have some very honest talks. We cried a lot together as we share that in common. But I could always count on Auntie Mary’s smile and sense of humour just always made my day, sometimes her visits stayed with me for weeks. Today’s service was exactly like it should have been, job well done Aunt Mary and family. Our prayers are with you all. Our Deepest Sympathy Love Brenda and Sheldon Anderson
We extend our sincere condolences to your family. Aunt Mary was a very special lady. She will be missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her. We watched the service this afternoon with Bernie and Sharon. She would be very proud of her family. Thank you for making it possible for us to be a part of the celebration of her life.
Sorry for the loss of your mom. She was such a nice lady and we always had a chat when she went by our house and we were outside.
My deepest sympathy on the loss of your Mother and Grandmother. Praying and knowing that God will surround you with His Love And Comfort
Sending you our deepest sympathy! What a wonderful legacy she has passed down to you!
