    with deepest sympany in the loss of your loved one

  • Cindy (Carlow) Griff

    I was deeply saddened to hear of Grandma’s passing. I think the loss of one’s parent is by far the saddest event of anyone’s lifetime.

    Grandma was a sweet, gentle lady, full of so much grace and dignity. I will always remember her for that sweet smile and beautiful nature.

    I think Grandma’s greatest legacy will be in the four wonderful children she raised with Grandpa John. Don, Mel, Marilyn and Barrie. She was very proud of all of you.

    Hers was a good, long and blessed life, and the happiness and joy that she brought to us all will live on in her memory.

    ~Grandma Mary will always hold a special place in my heart.~

    Lovingly, your granddaughter

    To the Carlow Family,

    My sincere condolences on the passing of wonderful woman who so warmly welcomed me into their home when I worked with Barry on the ambulance. She possessed wisdom and charm. She will now be reunited with Mr. Carlow and the rest of her family. May Mrs. Carlow rest in peace
