Ken and Family, Our deepest sympathy goes out to you at this sad time.  We always looked forward to your Xmas letter with all the news of your family's coming and goings...it kept us in touch with the family even though we lived in Victoria.  We will think of Mary playing golf with a big smile on her face.  Russ and Judy Brown & family (Russ being Mary's cousin)

Ken and family; so many memories i think of and i'm glad to have been a part of some of them.  My very sincere condolences to all of you, my thoughts are with you during this rough time.  I will always remember the many stories and times i shared with Mary.  Her framing skills with photography and all her talks and memories on her numerous trips around the world...I will never forget you Mary.  Love you always and I will miss you terribly :(

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time.  Mary was a true gem and we will miss her terribly.  She always spoke with a smile on her face about her family.  She was truly proud of you all.
I knew Mary as a real estate agent when selling my house.  She was so bright and energetic.  
Mary and I golfed on Tuesdays and in scrambles for many years.  She found great joy in golfing and always had a smile on her face and had an infectious laugh.  Mary found great joy in her Rainy Day Framing.  She was always so excited to show you the possibilities.  One winter us golf gals played poker at a different house on a monthly rotation.  When Mary was in Hawaii she took the time to send us updates on her vacation and family via email.
She will be fondly remembered and sadly missed.

Dear Ken and family, I am so very sorry to hear of Mary's passing. While we have not seen her very often over the past years as we were living across the country, I have so very many vivid memories of my childhood spent on 6th Avenue in Port Alberni. Memories of caring and love and fun! Memories cannot be taken away and I will always cherish them. Rest Mary and may you all cherish the memories of her as you celebrate her life. Your cousin Maureen (Brown) Shaw

Dear Ken, Deb, Deneen and family,
It is during times of great loss that we realize how limiting words can be and how special family and friends are.  Please know that you are not alone in remembering Mary.  She was a wonderful person, great hostess and a gal who will be sorely missed.
Love,
Larraine Leslie (Mary's cousin)

I am so sorry to hear about Mary. I had such a fun time with Mary and Ken while visiting my parents in Hawaii. I will always remember her vivaciousness and humor, her good heart. Not even death can keep that kind of spirit down. She is somewhere, basking in the Light, having a wonderful time.

Ken and family; We are saddened by the loss of our wonderful friend. There will never be another Mary Larson. We are so privileged to have known her. Here's to all the great times we've had together over so many years. All our love to you. Neva and Dick  Helena, MT

Deb and Pete, and all the family - So sorry to see Mary had passed away.  She was always our favourite "real estate lady" and also my landlord for a time when I lived in Nanaimo.  To come in contact with her was to feel the meaning of the word energy. Deepest Sympathies, Joanne and Roger Moore.

I was honored to have Mary as my friend and golfing buddy.  She was a very special lady.  Rest in peace my friend.
Ken my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.  Love Suzanne
