Mary was such an important part of our lives. She took my mother under her wing when my father died so young, got her out to work when that seemed impossible, drew her into a wonderful social life which all gave her more reasons to live. She never forgot that and, I believe, saw the whole Gorham family as her own.
Mary was a joy to know, a warm, loving woman, always full of life, always up for a chat. She and Marian will always be in my heart and it was the biggest privilege to see her online and talk to her last week. Rest in peace, Mary. May flights of angels sing thee to thy rest

With love from Cathy, Thomas and all xx
