In our 2009-10 Annual Report we showed the picture above of Mary Burns who had turned 95 on Christmas Day 2009. Over the year she had knitted 90 stocking caps to give to those in need.After being actively involved in the parish for so long, Mary was initially saddened by going into a nursing home because she saw it as the end of her service. She came to realize that her methods of service just needed to change. Her new service included making certain everyone was gathered for Communion Services in her nursing home and reaching out to those around her.
Mary passed away last night. Her funeral will be Monday. Eternal Rest grant unto her O Lord.
