THE LADY OF MANY HATS Maisie was my friend, and a friend to many - but also a mother/auntie/mother-in-law/cousin/grandmother /teacher/artist/peacekeeper/volunteer - truly a Lady with many Hats! She brought sunshine into my life - with her thoughtfulness/kindness/fairness/dignity/humour/sense of adventure - truly a Renaissance Woman. Maisie gave of herself - to all who knew her - sharing her favourite Guyanese recipes - listening to our hopes and dreams - guiding us in times of need. Our beloved Maisie - she always knew the right thing to say - the right thing to do! She never gave up - she always strived to accomplish her goals - and always did. I embrace you Maisie - as I did during your life - with all of my love - the lady who was many things to many people - but especially my friend.

Dear Jackie, Bev and Dave, Mary Rose, Christine, and family. I was so sorry to hear about the death of your mother. I have very fond memories of seeing her as we gathered to carol at 8 McCord, and of your mom's gracious presence while we attended church functions. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. With Love, Monica, Phil, and family.

Dear Mary Rose, Mike, Greg, Dennis, Bev, Christine, Robin, Jackie, and all your spouses, children, and extended family. I can only say that your mom was an amazing role model for me and for so many other people. I am honoured and blessed to have had the opportunity to spend precious time with her on so many occasions as she welcomed me in her home and always made me feel as part of the family. During difficult times I always felt that I could talk to her as she had an amazing ability to understand the human condition always with wise words and compassion. I will miss her but her spirit will never be forgotten as she connected and communicated through her soul, and by touching our souls with love, on a level way beyond the physical plane. I loved her dearly. Lilian

As a member of a large family like yours, mothers like yours and mine are heros, irreplacable members of the family unit and the comunity as a whole. For sure Maisie's memory will live forever, her example will be followed and copied and her presence will always be amongst her huge family, friends, members of the community and everyone who every met or even heard of her. She is a legend and legends are immortal. Please God may my journey back home like Mary Rose's on 9th July be a long time coming.

I never met Maisie, but through all the many stories I heard about her, and Christmas and birthing wishes I received from her, I understood her to be an outstanding human being (first and foremost), mother, wife, sister and friend. (She was also an amazing entertainer and cook, which she did, by all accounts, effortlessly and with much grace). When someone as selfless and robust-in-character as Maisie passes, the gap left is irreplaceable. My sincere hope for Mary Rose, siblings and far-extended family is that you'll all be able to fill some of those spaces with myriad rich memories of this remarkable woman, and that the knowledge that she sits "in the palm of His hand" goes some way to bringing you all a token of comfort. Safe journey, Maisie, and rest peacefully--you've earned it!

I first met Aunty Maisie in 1998 when she heard of my Dad's sudden death in Australia, and took the time to attend his funeral. They were schoolmates from the 1920s. We stayed in touch by phone and occasional visits, and I met her daughter, Jackie, and her family. She was so proud of Jackie and Steven's boys, Trevor, Luke and Mitchell. She would often refer to Mitch as "your little friend." Aunty Maisie was the most upbeat octogenarian I have ever known. Her smiling face and soothing voice were always a source of inspiration and comfort. She was so excited when my son, Darren, decided to teach at Bayview Glen two years ago, where she too, once taught. She wanted to meet him and we lunched over her years at the school at Moxie's. I will always treasure our last time together just before Mother's Day when she invited my daughter, Bridget-Ann, and I to lunch with her at Taco Sushi. We lingered over the meal for a long time as she regaled us with her stories of the family and her life. Thanks for the memories, Aunty Maisie. Our heartfelt sympathy to all of the family. Pam, Damian, Darren and Bridget-Ann

Mrs. James was my kindergarten teacher in '84/'85 when I was at Bayview Glen. I remember her being a very kind, warm, generous, caring woman and 'mother' to all of us in the class. I was pretty young then, but my mom told me that Mrs. James was very proud of me in my first year of school at BVG, & I hope I haven't let her down since then. She will be sadly missed...

Maisie will always be remembered by those who worked with her at Bayview Glen School, as very caring teacher and a great support to the teaching and administration staff. I remember visiting her at her home where a meal was always presented so elegantly. Maisie was a true lady,and a very good friend. Maisie will always be remembered for her positive approach to life----a true role model. She was so proud of her children and grandchildren,and I enjoyed hearing about the family and seeing her photographs. Rest in peace Maisie,we will miss you, but the good times will always be with us.

Hello I was priviledged enough to be Maisie's god-daughter. During my childhood Maisie was a constant figure in my life as a surrogate grandmother and a friend. She was always willing to play with me and my brother and treated us as little adults rather than kids. Maisie was the essense of kindness. A woman who would always give to others rather than take for herself. I personally will miss her terribly and wish her family all the best in this time of great sorrow. Please know that Maisie, with her bright smile and sweet personality, will never be forgotten. Love Kathryn

Our sincerest condolences to Maisie's family and extended family. May you find comfort and strength in each other and in the Lord, and in time, the sadness and pain will ease. Mrs. James, Auntie Maisie, Mom Maisie, and Life long friend, Maisie are some of the names I would call Maisie. Each name represents a phase in my life and each phase has its own set of memories which I will always treasure. Maisie welcomed me into her family with open arms. She influenced my life in a very positive way with her beliefs, attitudes, values, love and faith. I feel very blessed to have had Maisie in my life. She was my pillar of strength and I loved her dearly. Maisie, "May the angels of mercy comfort you and bring you peace. May the angels of hope take you by the hand and lead you home" so that you may be reunited with Ed and Jonathan. You will always be in our hearts and in our prayers. Love always, Lily-Marie and Bernie Phillips.
