Mary wanted only to give. That was just Mary’s way. Mary was Mary Ripley of Charlottetown She was a very special person. To some, she was known as “the bread lady” because she delivered thousands of loaves of bread during many random acts of kindness in her lifetime. Ripley did not want recognition or gratitude –she only wanted to do some good and spread some cheer. When she passed away in February, at the age of 64, many friends remembered her kindness and spirit of giving. That was her way. When we think of giving, Mary’s frequent gifts of loaves of homemade bread, we are reminded of our Heavenly Father, who gave the greatest gift, His Son, the” bread of life.” Most know that beautiful story, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, what whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”
