Tom and I send our hugs and condolences to the Baily and Brady families. We know you'll cherish many good memories of your mom. We loved receiving Christmas cards over the years, featuring prints of Mary Brady's paintings such as the kids skating on the river at Norway Bay! With much love, Karen and Tom

I only knew Mary for a short time and it was a privilege to spend time with her and get to know her wonderful family. It was obvious that Mary was a lovely and much loved lady. Thank you for the opportunity. R.I.P. Mary.

I remember Mary and Homer being so very welcoming when I was a kid. Even the smell of their kitchen was always sweet. I remember Mary talking about gardening and reading us stories. I also remember her art on my wall as a child. So many lovely Norway Bay memories. Sending love to the whole family. xxx
