The first day Mary walked through the doors at Lancing, she brought a beaming smile and boundless energy - a far cry from what we had known previously. As if that wasn't enough to disarm us she came armed with Donuts a sure winner for 13-18year old boys - Marys Generosity was endless, always putting on pizza nights, movie nights, and cakes for afternoon tea hosting the hoards of boys always hungry, always wanting a little kindness. But it was the safe space she gave us all, fighting our corner when needed, always more willing to listen than opine, ever present in our pastoral care that I will remember the most. You played an incredibly important role for me a mother figure, when mine wasn't there. I will forever be grateful. I think of you often and miss you dearly.
