Dedicated to the everlasting memory of Mary Alpert
This site is a tribute to Mary, much loved Mother to Susannah and Jonathan; Grandmother to Charlie, Sophie, Rory and Ariella; Sister, Aunt, Cousin, Friend and Mentor to many.
Mary was so cruelly affected by a rare form of Alzheimers Disease at the end of her life. A keen supporter of charitable causes, Mary was very keen to support research into dementia and more widely to provide support for dementia sufferers and the families of those affected by the disease.
This page/site will remain open for people to come back to and visit whenever they like. Please feel free to share favourite memories and photos of Mum.
If you would like to mark any special occasion (birthdays, religious holidays etc) you can do so here in her memory by making additional donations or 'lighting a candle' to remember her.
Mum, your memory will always live on in our hearts and in the hearts of all the people that you touched with your kindness.

Dear Mum, to commemorate the first anniversary of your passing… When Great Trees Fall by Maya Angelou When great trees fall, rocks on distant hills shudder, lions hunker down in tall grasses, and even elephants lumber after safety. When great trees fall in forests, small things recoil into silence, their senses eroded beyond fear. When great souls die, the air around us becomes light, rare, sterile. We breathe, briefly. Our eyes, briefly, see with a hurtful clarity. Our memory, suddenly sharpened, examines, gnaws on kind words unsaid, promised walks never taken. Great souls die and our reality, bound to them, takes leave of us. Our souls, dependent upon their nurture, now shrink, wizened. Our minds, formed and informed by their radiance, fall away. We are not so much maddened as reduced to the unutterable ignorance of dark, cold caves. And when great souls die, after a period peace blooms, slowly and always irregularly. Spaces fill with a kind of soothing electric vibration. Our senses, restored, never to be the same, whisper to us. They existed. They existed. We can be. Be and be better. For they existed. ————————————- We think about you every day. You are so missed and loved. It is hard to believe that a year has passed… with all our love for eternity. Jonathan, Sarah, Rory and Ariella XXX
