  29. Very saddened to hear of the passing of Mary Mouzar. As Mary Henderson, she was a best friend of my late wife, Margaret

  47. Mary built and maintained one of the best websites on the internet and she is known and appreciated all over the world. We will miss you Mary. Thank you.

  48. I too was a big fan of Mary’s Queen’s County Times. I used to check it everyday to see what was going on in the area and see the pictures that she would publish. I know it was a lot of work to maintain the site. She did a wonderful job and it was very much appreciated. Unfortunately, I did not meet her personally but I did exchange a few emails with her. I wish I had had the opportunity. From all the comments above…she was a remarkable lady.

  50. I first met Mary when she was creating a newsletter for Crafters and Artists while living in Halifax. She was a wonderful talented lady, when she moved to Hunts Point and I moved as well we lost touch and email addresses. I just recently found out she had passed away and am saddened to hear this. I am sure she is missed very much and I send my deepest sympathies to her family.
