Mary Kadri

I just read today of Mary's passing in the APEGA summer publication. I attended the University of Calgary with Mary and graduated with her in the geophysics program. She was a sweet caring woman with a smile that would light up a room. I was deeply saddened to hear of her passing but I am heartened to know that she is at peace now. My condolences to her husband and family. God Bless

My heart is sadden. Mary was a beautiful person. I pray that Allah has mercy on her soul and on the souls of all our loved ones. Inshallah with her death there is a reminder and enlightenment for those who loved her: From Allah we are all created and to Him we shall return; and Inshallah we are all guided to the right path which Mary embodied through her acts of kindness, compassion, generosity and loving demeanor. She will be truly missed and will always be in my prayers.

Mark, I am so sorry to hear of of Mary's passing. I just found out today, you must be devasted. I only met her a few times but I thought she was the most beautiful person both inside and out. Our condolences to all who knew and loved Mary. We are so sorry for your loss.

Kadz, you are so missed!

I briefly worked with Mary many years ago in Houston. Her love of life and adventure was absolutely contagious and she was a joy to be around. My sympathies to her family. She will be missed by all.

Mark and Family - Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this very sad time - Take Care Jo-Anne & Syd

My deepest sympathies to you and your family. May God give you peace and strength. My thoughts and prayers are with you through this difficult time.

Dear Mark, Both for myself and on behalf of the whole Communications team I wanted to let you know that, in recognition of your wishes, we have sent a donation to the Red Cross Syrian Fund as a token of our sympathies and thoughts. Every one of the team is here to support you in any way we can and to also encourage you to stay strong and to remember the inspiration, kindness and energy that is Kadri’s legacy. You should also be very proud of the support, happiness and comfort you gave her throughout her illness. With best regards, Anne-Sophie

Mark, Mona, Haysam and family, This news of Mary has shook me to my core. Mary is the definition of an angel. Her spirit never failed her, she was a guide for so many, a spirit that shined as an angel should. Heaven has gained her. She gave her wings to those who needed flight, she provided enlightenment for those who couldn't see past the darkness, she provided optimism for those who didn't believe. She never lost her sense of wonder. I will forever remember her laughter, her willingness and generosity to help others, her embracing smile, her mesmerizing eyes, her motivating force for life and most of all, her love. Any time you spent with Mary, you could hardly wait till next time. In my heart, I know someday we will meet again. I love you so very much, I thought of you often, I'm so sorry we didn't get a chance to see each other one last time. With heartfelt sympathy and prayers. T

May your hearts be healed by the memories of her, and the peace that now surrounds her. With our deepest condolences for your loss, our hearts and prayers go out to you during this difficult time. She will never be forgotten, her spirit will live on, in all that she achieved and shared with so many. Allah yirhama, may her soul rest in peace.

I am so, so sorry to hear of Mary's passing and can't believe that she's gone. She was so strong for so many years that I felt that she could beat anything. But she did - she beat adversity, she beat the medical establishment and she beat back the disease that tried to claim her for so long. She was a true inspiration and I could only hope to live up to the loving, wise and strong example that she has set. Her being in our lives has enriched us all. My sincere and heartfelt love and condolences to her entire family and many friends.

We are so saddened by the news of Mary's passing and our thoughts are with Mark and Mary's family. We were so fortunate that our two girls got a chance to spend time with her and see her humour, wisdom and above all her strength. Mary, there will always be a special place in our hearts.

Myself and my brother (Rob) grew up living next door to the Kadri family. Mike and Mona were just a couple years older, but I pretty much grew up with Mary, Gazy, and Haysem. I attended some of the same classes in school with Mary, and terrorized her, along with the help of her brother, (My first best friend)Gazy. There is a bond, which in my eyes can not be broken. We all have known each other from such a very young age, how could it be broken? Myself, my brother (Robert), and my parents (Larry and Donna), would like to extend our most heartfelt sympathies for Sid, Mrs. K (as I call her), Mike, Mona, Gazy, and Haysem, in this time of grievance. The beauty in all of this is that whenever you hear the name Mary Kadri, or even think of her at any random moment, 100% guaranteed, it will put a smile on all our faces and also make us chuckle. Lol. Thank you Mary for being a part of my memories. May you rest in peace Mary Kadri. Sincerely, The McPhee family.

Hi Mark. James and I send big love to you and your family. A bright light has gone out in the world with the loss of Mary. She was an amazing person, so kind and warm, and I so admired her passion for life. Wish we could be there tomorrow to celebrate and honour Mary. Please know that you all will be in our hearts and thoughts. All our love, Jayme and James

I am so very saddened to hear of Mary's passing. Mary was one of those rare and special people that you fell in love with the moment you met her. She was kind, generous, wise and always made you feel special. The courage she showed throughout her battle with cancer was incredibly inspiring. My thoughts go out to her family during this time and may they keep her wonderful spirit with them always. Mary, you were a ray of sunshine to many and you will be in our hears forever. Peter and I will never forget you.

It's so sad. I remember Mary as a special and beautiful person. How could she have a so nice smile when she suffered? She offered to everyone a beautiful lesson of life and humility. Mark: please be strong in this terrible moment. I send all my thoughts and sympathy to you and her family. Sincerly, Jocelyne

I went to U of C with Mary in Geology and Geophysics. I will never forget her contageous smile, captivating eyes and warm heart. She would light up the room when she walked in. I'm so sorry to hear of her passing and her long battle with cancer. It's no surprise that she courageously battled for so long. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family, friends and loved ones she left behind.

Shep.... Condolences to you and Mary's family. She was a gem. Thinking of you.... Trem

I'm saddened to hear of the passing of my sweet, funny, smart, and lovely friend Mary. She was never intimidated from anything. Carefree and adventurous and full of life! When I first heard of Mary's health problems 14 years ago, I shed tears of sadness and when she conquered the pains, I shed tears of joys. Today, my heart is broken. But one thing I do know is that Mary is no longer suffering and in peace. Mark, you are a pure gentleman who loved and cared for Mary throughout her life. My sincere condolences to you and the family. God is with her. Love and miss you Mary.

I love the chosen picture of her. A beautiful and infectious smile! May the many shared memories with her bring you comfort. My deepest sympathies to you, Mark and to Mary's family. Lovingly,

I had the pleasure of working with Mary here in Houston many years ago. She was a wonderful and vivacious young woman. I am sad to hear of her passing and send my thoughts and prayers to her family and to Mark. Sincerly, Kimberly Madsen-Cline Houston, Tx

Mr.S, So sorry to hear this news. The world is a far poorer place today. Please stay strong and I hope the hurt will eventually be joined by an overwhelming pride at the inspiration, happiness and energy that Kadri brought to all who knew her. We'll raise a glass (or two) in the Red Lion to toast a very special lady and to also recognise your own courage and commitment in comforting and supporting Kadri throughout her illness. Stay strong Mr.S, Mr.B

God's Garden So sorry for your loss.... I cannot imagine the pain.... but flowers can only grow.... with the help of gentle rain... Mary is in God's garden now... where beauty and love exist.... although nothing can prepare you... for a moment such as this.... There is no pain or suffering.... only peace and love reside.... where glorious gardens grow... and Allah by her side.... Heaven has gained and Angel... though we have lost a friend.... deep within our hearts we know.... someday.....we'll meet again... With heartfelt sympathy and prayers Amera Elkadri And family

I remember Mary as vibrant, kind, loving and much more. She made anyone feel so special no matter who you are. Her light will always be with those she crossed paths with. I have learned many precious attributes from her. I wish I had one more hug. Rest in peace Mary. I wish your family strength and love as what you represented so gracefully. Love you so so much❤️ Suzi
