Mary was born and raised in Hulme. She has 2 older brothers and 1 younger sister all of whom are here with us today. Iβm sure my nana and granddad would have been delighted when Mary was born, a sweet beautiful little girlβ¦β¦β¦.
However Mary had others ideas!!! She was never one to conform to rules, Iβve heard sheβd much prefer to bunk off school to have fun with her mates.
In her younger days she loved going to clubs and dancing to the music. I also understand that she did this on the cheap! by hooking up with a guy for the evening and enjoying the free drinks! before climbing out of the toilet window and escaping, just in case he expected something more!
Mary would roar with laugher when telling us stories of her antics. And there are so many stories, I am sure you will all have a story to tell about Mary and ones that her family will enjoy listening too later on today. Mary was a free-spirit and thatβs what made her great.
Mary married Peter and they had 4 children together, Michael, Peter, Ann and Tommy, resulting in 16 grandchildren, all of whom she adored, cherished and fought to ensure their safety. Mary was more than a grandmother⦠she was their protector, their safety net, she adored them, they were her life.
Mary was always so busy caring for others, even working as a carer with old people for many years. However, If you ever asked how she was, Mary would always reply βIβm aright, Iβm alrightβ, even joking with my dad that βIβ am alrightβ should be put on her head stone.
Mary never put herself first. She would often go out of her way to reach those who were in need always giving to the less fortunate, her unconditional generosity was unmatched. She made everybody feel comfortable around her. Friends, family, co-workers, even strangers. Everybody.
Mary never liked to be the centre of attention. If she was with us now, she would want us to take the focus off her and put it on us. She would not want us to focus on the sadness of her death, but instead look at the happiness we still have in our lives. She would want us to look at each other and appreciate what we have together and what we hope to make better.
Mary had a smile that would light up a room, a laugh that was both naughty and contagious, a sense of humour that was wicked and a punch that would give Mohamed Ali a run for his money. A crack of Mary and you certainly would fly like a Butterfly, and have a sting like a Bee.
Mary enjoyed her holidays with her family, she has been known on occasions to have a good drink and then the dancing would follow, Mary in her day loved to dance and a poet once said:
βWhat is to die, but to stand in the sun and melt into the wind? And when the Earth has claimed our limbs, then we shall truly danceβ. Mary I hope you and Peter are dancing now.
Mary will surely be missed by her friends, her neighbours and especially her family. What consoles us now is the knowledge that she is back again to her Husbands embrace to enjoy the same love she so generously gave and showed to the world through her life.
In the words of Roy Orbison: A candy-coloured clown they call the sandman, tiptoed in your room that night, Just to sprinkle stardust and to whisper Go to sleep. everything is all right.
Mary, we love you. we miss you and you have graced our lives more than you will ever know. God bless.
love you nana xxxxxx
Two years nana, two whole years! It's hard to put into words how I feel..
I miss your presence, your smiling face, your cheeky laugh that would just make everybody else laugh because it was contagious! :)

You sound a lovely lady - as one who was born a Keogh & grew up among their love - I say to you Mary carry on dancing - wherever but remember -----
My Dearest Family,
Some things I'd like to say.
But first of all, to let you know,
That I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven.
Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness;
Here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy
Just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I am with you
Every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you
When my life on earth was through.
God picked me up and hugged me
And He said, "I welcome you.
It's good to have you back again,
You were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family,
They'll be here later on.
There's so much that we have to do,
To help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things,
That he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list,
Was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night
The day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....
In the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth,
And all those loving years.
Because you are only human,
They are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry:
It does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers,
Unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you
All that God has planned.
If I were to tell you,
You wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain,
Though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now,
Than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads
Ahead of you and many hills to climb;
But together we can do it
By taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy
And I'd like it for you too;
That as you give unto the world,
The world will give to you.
If you can help somebody
Who's in sorrow and pain;
Then you can say to God at night......
"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....
That my life was worthwhile.
Knowing as I passed along the way
I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody
Who is sad and feeling low;
Just lend a hand to pick him up,
As on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street
And you've got Me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps
Only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go....
From that body to be free.
Remember you're not going.....
You're coming here to Me.
Legacy of Love.
A wife, a mother, a grandma too,
This is the legacy we have from you.
You taught us love and how to fight,
You gave us strength, you gave us might.
A stronger person would be hard to find,
And in your heart, you were always kind.
You fought for us all in one way or another,
Not just as a wife not just as a mother.
For all of us you gave your best,
Now the time has come for you to rest.
So go in peace, you've earned your sleep,
Your love in our hearts, we'll eternally keep.
Read at Mary's funeral on behalf of her family xx

An Eternal Memory Of A Dearly Loved One
These few words
don't seem adequate
it's difficult to say
how much you meant and how you're missed
on each and every day
For you were really wonderful
and all the world could see
that you were loved so very much
that's how you'll always be.
