RETRIEVING AUSTRALIA FORUM

Many thanks for the many kind messages we have received following our accident on 6 June. Sadly, after several weeks of hospitalisation and treatment Mary died at home last night at around 12.30 am. Our family are here with me and we are receiving good support. Further details will be posted after arrangements are made. Thanks again for your support. Joe

incredibly sad joe not sure what to say but i know how u must be feeling the world is a poorer place for mary's passing

Deepest sympathy to you and your family Joe. Mary was a wonderful person, an incredible contributor to our sport, and an inspiration to us all.

Joe and Family,
So very sorry to hear of the loss of Mary. I hope that her passing was peaceful and that you and the family can find strength in each other at this very sad time. She will be missed by all who knew her.

Joe our thoughts are with you at the sad time. We will always think fondly of Mary from our times at trials when we were able to have chats with her about the dogs. She was a lovely lady and always willing to help and assist with dog events.

We are thinking of you and your family.

To Joe Law and the family,
I am so sad we have lost Mary. I had been waiting to hear she was well again. I know she is loved by many retrieving people. I personally thank her for making me feel welcome at eastern States trials. I am grateful for the way she invited me to join social groups after trials and I'll remember the friendly chats we had while watching the trials. She radiated kindness and generosity to me and to us all.Vale Mary.

So sorry to hear Joe. Mary will be sadly missed. For her friendliness, ongoing and readily given work for Retrieving Australia and her concern for others, even she was not well herself. She was a special person and will remain an inspiration to me and, I am sure, to most people she met.

Hi Joe
Our deepest sympathy, we will miss Mary greatly. Thinking of you and your family at this sad time.
Best regards,
Jeff & Carol
