Subject: RE: Obit: Mary Silver From: Effsee Date: 11 May 13 - 03:21 PM Deepest condolences Terry. I remember her well from our brief meeting over 40 years ago. She certainly had a splendid innings. |

Subject: RE: Obit: Mary Silver From: gnu Date: 11 May 13 - 03:38 PM Oh my goodness, T. What a wonderful way to leave. I have tears rolling down my cheeks. Thanks for sharing this. Be well, good friend. Gary |
Subject: RE: Obit: Mary Silver From: GUEST Date: 11 May 13 - 03:45 PM When it comes time to go, that sounds like just about the right way to go. Condolences to you and the family. Some years back some friends told of how the Grandpa of their family reached into his late eighties hale and hearty, pushed back from Sunday dinner one day, said "that was good", and ceased to be. |
Subject: RE: Obit: Mary Silver From: jacqui.c Date: 11 May 13 - 03:49 PM There certainly is a lot to celebrate. I counted Mary as a friend and looked forward to visiting her whenever I was in Newark. She was amazing - her sense of mischief was always there and visits always lasted a lot longer than planned. She was annoyed, one time, that the audio books that were brought in from the travelling library were what were thought to be 'suitable' for her age. She found a lot of them boring and wanted something more exciting. Another time, on a trip into Waitrose, we came across Hemp Oil and she reckoned that would be difficult to smoke! Mary taught me a lot about not judging by age! Over the time I knew her she lost a lot of her sight and became more housebound but her mind was still sharp and her sense of humour never left her. I am so glad that she left with a joke on her lips. A fitting end for a wonderful lady. Selfishly, I will miss her on my visits now but know, because she told me, that she was ready to go. |

Subject: RE: Obit: Mary Silver From: kendall Date: 11 May 13 - 04:02 PM Terry, my friend, I hope when my time comes that I can leave just as your wonderful Mum did. I met her a couple of years ago, and I thought she was delightful. Bright and cheerful. R.I.P. Mary Silver. |
Subject: RE: Obit: Mary Silver From: maeve Date: 11 May 13 - 04:03 PM Terry, I thank you for sharing your mother with me. It has been a joy to send messages and photos of our wee chickens to such a delightful lady. She and your dad made a good job of raising their family, and her children returned the favor by taking good care of her. |

Subject: RE: Obit: Mary Silver From: Maryrrf Date: 11 May 13 - 05:24 PM Terry, I'm so sorry to hear this, but at the same time I know that she was ready to go, and I'm glad it happened quickly and painlessly. She was a wonderful lady and it was a true privilege to have known her. She lived a long and happy life, cheerfully meeting whatever challenges she faced and enjoying the simple pleasures to the fullest, and she radiated good will and benevolence. RIP, Mary. |

Our thoughts are with Terry and Colin. (Cap'n) Hovering Bob Hambleton |

Hope to catch up with you somewhere soon Squeezy |
