Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Mary Ethel Petrowitch Tuesday November 30th 2021..
Death notice for the town of: Bancroft, Province: Ontario
Not to many people know and I won’t go into great detail as Mary I felt found it easier to call me her friend .
Alec and Mary adopted me in 1975 …I ran around the house Alec had built on the lakefront , well there were so many toys for the pets I was certain Santa had come !
They both knew that day I was the child for them .
We moved a lot do to Alec’s work and with my many homes previous I would gravitate toward the female for safety ..it became a battle ..at the time I didn’t understand and I was moved at age 9 .
A few years later I was living in Barrie and thought ” I’m going to look them up ” .
I initiated the call at age 12 and the CAS reunited us …I would visit regularly and kept in touch regularly over the many years .
Mom promised if anything ever happened to her my name / phone number/ address were on her fridge .
I found out Christmas Day when the number said out of service , I M almost 54 now and have never felt the sadness of losing someone so close , I’m very lost and confused .
Mom …if I could make one wish happen it’s that you and dad will reunite in the afterlife …I will miss you both until it’s my time , as I told you there isn’t a day that goes by I don’t think of you and this will continue still , to one of the most sensitive caring beautiful soul who taught me my love for animals …I love you so very much and will miss you deeply …RIP Mary ..my mom.
