In memory of

Mary Helen Gonsalves

December 7, 1927 -  October 7, 2023

Our darling Mum went home to her Creator on October 7, 2023 after living a beautiful life to the fullest.

She was a very devoted wife to her husband Jack and a loving and nurturing mother to Glen and Gail. She loved her son-in-law Kevin like a son. And to everyone else she was their beloved Mama Mary!

Mary was extremely loved by her many siblings, Michael, Teresa, Seby, Paul, St. Anne, Francis, Philip and Dolly.
Mary had a very positive outlook on life. Her infectious smile was a ray of sunshine especially when one was feeling low. Even towards the end she always smiled and radiated love to everyone who came to see her.

Mary has left us with her cherished legacy of unconditional love that she so gracefully shared, and something we will miss every day.

Love you Mama. Forever in our hearts

Our darling Mama Mary lived a life that was nothing short of remarkable. The unmistakable twinkle in her eye and an ever-ready smile, her zest for life, was evident to all of us who were so fortunate and blessed to know her. She was the epitome of love, kindness, and an unwavering positive spirit.

As she journeyed through her glorious 95 years, Mama Mary touched the hearts of everyone she met. When the time came for her to make her final passage, it was a bittersweet moment. We, her family and friends gathered around her to pray, holding her hands and whispering words of love. She left this world with the same grace and dignity with which she lived her life.

Her legacy of love, kindness, and a passion for life will be cherished, and yes, her absence deeply felt. But even as we shed tears that she is gone, we also smile because she has lived among us. Her spirit lives on, and we continue to feel her presence in our hearts and minds.

Rest in Peace, Mama Mary. 🙏We love you. ❤️

A.Mary who we fondly referred to as Mama Mary is someone we met not too long ago but immediately fell in love with. She embodied everything that we are called to do as we journey through life. Honesty, integrity, humility, forgiveness, zeal for life, dear friendships, gratitude, support and most importantly love. Although she is not physically with us and we miss her we know that she will always be with us in spirit. We strive to allow her legacy to live on and through us by the way we continue on this journey, till we meet again. Glen, Gail, Kevin and all the family, we extend our deepest sympathies to you. Thank you for sharing your Mama with us. We are blessed to have met all of you and are here for you in the days and years ahead. God bless
