Mary had a long battle with cancer, but she did not allow it to bring her down. She always had a smile on her face. She always remained strong, not just for herself, but for all of us! She was the most courageous person I have ever met. I am grateful to have had her in my life.

This has reinforced my commitment to engage all of my students in authentic learning activities, emphasizing connections to their own lives and the world around them. I seek a position as an elementary school teacher, in which I can continue to grow as a learner and an educator.

Beloved mother of Maria,Louise and Matthew. Beloved nanna of Chloe-Jade,Sam,Charlie,Harry and Alfie. Beloved sister, Auntie and friend to many people. My mum fought a short and brave battle with cancer which sadly took her away from us on the 5th April 2009. I know she will live on in my heart forever and ever. Not a day goes by when i dont think about her. Gone but never ever forgotton. Was an inspiration to all. Was very friendly, loving and caring.
