Will never forget this beautiful lady especially for her always having jokes to share, her bright soul and kind heart. I've had the pleasure of seeing her in passing via dr office or in the grocery store before she passed. With Nelson by her side they always stopped for a chat.

Nelson, it was such a pleasure to meet both you and Mary. My mom, Pauline Etter, sister to your close friend Dorothy Hill, always had such fun with you both and spoke so fondly of you. When I meant you both, I could see why. You were such a loving couple and certainly knew how to enjoy a good laugh. I am so very sorry for your loss. I know you have a treasure of wonderful memories. I pray they carry you through this difficult time.

Dear Nelson and family , My sincere condolences for the loss of Mary .The few times I met Mary she was very kind and cheerful. You have lost a great lady..Take Care of yourself Nelson.Sincerely , Ron Smith retired MT&T

Our sincere condolences to Nelson, David and family. We were so sorry to hear of Mary's passing. We always enjoyed meeting up with Mary and Nelson at Mar Tel & Tel events, in Clayton Park and elsewhere. She was always outgoing and friendly. Jim and Patricia Clancy

Holly and Robert. Sorry to hear of your mom's passing. It's been many years since we were next street neighbours in Clayton Park. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Back in the late 1940's I traveled first by tram, then by the new electric coach, to my job at CGE on Hollis St.. Mary and Nelson Braid often were on the same coach though I never knew their names. But every day that they traveled on the same coach I did, it brightened my day. They were always so happy! And I don't think they ever saw anyone else on that coach except each other. Some time later I learned their names from my sister, who worked at the Telephone Co. Perhaps one of them worked there too and Barb knew them. In the sad days we've had here in Nova Scotia this past week it lightened my mood to remember the two happy travelers from so long ago. I'm sorry, really sorry, for the loss you are feeling at this time but so glad to know that they had so many happy years together. I can easily see the Mary I remember in the picture of her in the paper. Sincere sympathy, Margaret Annand

So sorry to hear of Mary's passing. I had the pleasure of meeting her and Nelson at the Canada Games Centre. The girls at the pool loved her. She was full of life always a story or joke and always a smile. She will be missed.

Holly & Family So very sorry for your great loss. My prayers & thoughts are with you. May she Rest In Peace. Raylene Thomson

Dear Holly and family. So very sorry to hear about your Mom's passing. Sending my deepest condolences to you and your family. Your Mom sounded like a wonderful woman who lived life to the fullest from stories you've told. Hugs Holly.

Mary & Nelson would come into the restaurant that I worked at, they always had lots of gift cards and would say "what do I want to eat this time? " They like their food & their coffee hot and it was a pleasure to bring it to them. They always looked for me when they came in, and it always brought a smile to my face. She loved to tell me that she was in her 90s and I loved to hear her secret of a happy life and even funnier, a happy marriage LOL I will truly miss seeing her. My condolences, and if anyone can bring her husband into Cora Clayton Park when this pandemic is all over I would love to see him. Best Lindsay Henman
