to the Greene Family
I’ve known your mom for most of my life and she was always so kind and welcoming. Whenever I met her, she took the time to have a chat and always had a kind word. In recent years, she was a strong presence in times of loss, offering support and hugs. There are many neighbors from our childhood who mean a lot to me, but Bimmie was extra special and she holds a place in my heart. Thinking of you all as you lay your dear mom to rest. God Bless. Janine (Collins) and Frank McGrath

It is difficult to think of Bimmy (otherwise known as Mary Greene) as no longer living amongst us tucked away in her comfortable home, down in the Swans of Placentia. I have prayed for her, lost sleep for her and cried for her but here we are anyway paying tribute to a wonderful person we have been so blessed to know and love. Bim was a soft and gentle woman. She was so proud of her family, and she loved them all. But her 4 children were her greatest joy. She was a devoted and loving grandmother and great mother but her first love were Spark, Gary, Diane, and Phillip.
What was truly unique about Bimmy’s life is her relationship with her sister, my mother, Loretta. They were inseparable. If they weren’t together in person, they were on the phone, each one taking the time to make sure they were in touch every hour on the hour for an hour until bedtime. Before they were widowed, their respective husbands would often listen in on their phone calls and then make fun of them for whatever it was they were talking about. And that conversation could have included anything from what body part was paining or aching, how much they hated Victor Newman and “how bad is that Adam at’all” to probably complaining about their husbands.
Bimmy was the first to suffer the loss of her beloved husband and for the last 7 years, Bimmy did pretty good on her own managing to take care of herself and her home with a lot of support from her youngsters. And she was there for Loretta when it was her turn to experience that same loss 2 years later. Yes, they shared everything including each other’s heartache and they were each other’s rock in their time of loss of their spouses.
They shopped together, they walked together and they shared the love of gardening, and you would never know that they were sisters because they were so much more than that. They were best friends. They went to the same hairdresser on the same day to be presentable for the same mass in the same church in the same pew. Truth be told, they also had the same hairstyle!
The chain is broken for Art and Philomena O'Keefe’s crowd and it is indeed a sad, sad day for us all but no sadder than it is for the ones who loved her the most: Spark, Gary, Diane, Phillip, and all of their crowd. You are in my heart and in my prayers.

We were dear friends in our teenage years. Lots of fond memories of many visits to her parent’s house with Loretta also, and Sundays, their dad would make the lovely jellied salad for us. Rest In Peace Mary!

My heart is breaking for you all. Bimmy was so dear to me. Funny how we don’t realize the importance of family, neighbours and friends until we are grown and start families of our own. I know that Bimmy always special to me but became even more so these past few years. Whenever we saw each other, it was a special moment for me. She made me feel like family. I loved her and will hold her fast to my heart for the rest of my life. Thank God I visited with her before I came down south. We had a lovely chat. Blessed she was to have her children, her brother and sister, nieces and nephews by her side as she make her transition. She treasured you all. Please know that you all family to me and that I am thinking about each and every one of you. Sending love and warm hugs. Rest easy sweet, beautiful, gentle Bimmy……until we meet again.
