Bernie and Family
The kids and I want to send our heartfelt sympathy to you during this difficult time. My sister was an exceptional individual that loved those around her with a kind and gentle heart. She would be the first to offer help, send loving thoughts and comforting words to anyone in need. Her loving nature was also evident in the way she cared for the birds around her home and especially her cats. She will be greatly missed but will also be remembered in my thoughts and heart.
Love Polly ( Nova Scotia )
Bernie, Sandra, and Robert,
Mary was a compassionate and loving person, consistently demonstrating her love for others.
I will always remember Mary as a person who put herself last, which is not unlike our mother.
The world needs more people like Mary.

All of the Tanguay family is in my thoughts at this difficult time. No matter at what age, it is sad to lose one so close and cherished. I will continue to cherish her memory. She was unique, vivacious and an amazing role model for us all.
Love and prayers,

Dear Bernie, Sandra & family, and Robert, please accept our deepest sympathy for your loss, of such a wonderful woman, she was charm and grace, and such an honour to be related too. She touched our lives in a positive way, and we will never forget Mary
Mary was such a lovely, warm person and we were privileged to come to know her as our neighbor. She graciously cared for our cats and garden whenever we needed her, and even after we moved away we enjoyed her friendship. She was a genuinely caring and warm person, very hospitable and kind. She loved her cats and always kept her home so lovely. We will miss her very much. Our deepest condolences to Bernie and the rest of her family – such a great loss.
We want to extend our deepest sympathies to the Tanguay family. The loss of a loved one is a difficult time, take comfort in the wonderful things that family and friends say and remember about Mary as it is proof of the beautiful soul she was. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all♡♡
Mary (and Bernie) have been our wonderful neighbours for almost 20 years. Mary took loving care of our cats when we were away and we always enjoyed our conversations outside while she was working in her garden (which is beautiful) and we in ours. She was gracious, kind, and gentle and we will miss her.
