Our sympathies to all the family members - Julie & angel dean and family

It was so nice to get to know Mary when she came over to "the neighbours'" especially in the summer time.  Mary always had an opinion to share or a laugh or some delicious food.  It was special to be a part of the festivities whenever she was here. To all the D'Souzas, especially to our neighbours Daphne and Kevin, thanks for sharing your Mom, grandma, auntie, great-grandma ... with us. Melina and Heather (Toronto)

Hi Kevin,
Thought emailing would be the best way to let you know I'm thinking of you and your family. I know Aunt Mary
Passed away peacefully. I'll be lighting a candle for her.
She was such a character.
Take care friend,

Hi Kevin and Daphne: 
What a beautiful and accurate description of a very strong, admirable
woman. It almost made me tear up. (I'm at work so couldn't let myself
cry.)
 I hope you two are holding up and spending the time to celebrate her
life and all that she brought.
 We'll have a toast to her when you return.
 lots of love,
 Arif

Dear Daphne and Kevin, 

I am so sorry to hear about your loss.  I know how much you love your mother.  I still remember that wonderful evening last summer, when we sat on your porch whiling away time when you introduced me to your mother and family who were visiting you.  I remember thinking to myself: what a wonderfully happy face your mother had - always smiling, watching her children with a pair of loving and kind eyes, ever so present and yet comfortably at ease.....

Dear Family of Aunty Mary, I was so very very sad to hear of her passing.  Her love and generosity for others knew no bounds  She had so much to give and gave with it abundantly and without hesitation.  Not to mention her amazing cooking .  What a loving beautiful lady taken away too soon.  She will be very very missed.  I love you Aunty Mary, may your soul rest in peace.
Affectionately Myra and Alexander.

Daphne, Kevin and family... very sorry to hear of your mother's passing and she'll be missed by so many.  In the short time I knew her, she left a very big impression.  I'll remember her for her warmth, her sense of humour ...and especially her iron grip.

Dearest Sybil, Jude, Reggie, Cynthia, Diana, Daphne, & Kevin:  Wow - Even though death is an absolute inevitable, sadly (Thanks to Adam & Eve)... Nevertheless, there is very little - if at all - Sadder, I believe, than the Death of a Parent .. & of course, spouse, siblings, children - not necessarily in that order.  It is a wretched, wretched loss ... nothing pretty about it - and, the deeper the feelings & the more close-knit the family, the more distressing the loss.  So, even though we understand it in a cerebral way -  there is soo much angst ... understandably so: So much (most) of Our History is involved ... Which, brings me to Such SWEET Memories (a lifetime, when it involves from beginning to end of school & then some :) ... Remember, the daily prayers while making the beds in the morning, on way to school ... Every single day (That's character! :)
All the 'Baby Doll' dresses your Mom seemed to produce every other day (hey, it seemed like 'every' day to me:  Good thing i didn't suffer from envy, or i'd be dead for sure)... and, what good stock you came from, coz, you were never a spoilt brat!:) In fact, the reason that you're so outstanding ... is coz you had such Outstanding Parents!!! Simply & Truly :o)  
One of my 'funniest' memories:  Cod liver oil capsules all over the house (on tables, of course) ... never thought of asking,... maybe you guys were feigning selective amnesia ... but your parents were not going for it -  haha
Listen, I could go on & on .....
But, I see two main threads re most people's recollection of your Mom:  Great Cook, & Feisty!  There was of course way, way more ..... But, that's a great epitaph :)
Let me end abruptly:  I know that your Mom will see the kingdom of God -  your Dad, as well (What a great man, too :) ... and, we can only pray, that the rest of the D'Souza & extended families will all Be Blessed To See & Enjoy The Kingdom Of God, One Day! ...
And the rest of us will join in that Blessing as well!!!
Love & Hugs To You All, from all of us in Florida:  Mom, Dad, Tina, James, David, Lenny, Melba, Rachel, Nicole, Conrad, & Barbara

Cynthia, Sybil, Reggie, Diana, Daphne, and Kevin.  Our deepest sympathies to the entire family.  May the soul of your beloved mother rest in peace.

To the family of Mary - my prayers are with you as you mourn the loss of your mother.  Leslie Miller

Dear Sybil & Jude:
At the time I met you'll while entering Superstore, had your dear mum already passed on?  You gave no indication of this whatsoever so I assume she was still "hanging on".  Anyway, all I can do at this point is to pray for her soul and extend my deepest sympathies to you and all your family members.  She is now in our Heavenly Kingdom in the company of The Holy Trinity, Our Blessed Mother and the Whole Heavenly Court where, sooner or later, we will all pass on to. May They sustain you, all your family and Jude during this difficult time. 

Love and God Bless.

To all Mary D'Souza's Families,

Please accept my deepest sympathy at the sad passing of Mary. May the lord give you all the strength to bear this great loss and may her soul rest in peace.

Christine Tamatave

Sybil,Diana,Cynthia, Reggie,Daphnie and Kevin. My deepest Sympathy to you all. When we loose such a special person in our life, time seems to stop.
