Wow, you made Soo many memories with soo many people in your tooo brief life, Mary! I know I'll never be the same for being touched by your Dear friendship. The only thing that comforts my ache is knowing You ARE at peace in Jesus loving arms; free from pain, zero stresses, judgment free with NO meds, knowing HE IS faithful to keep ALL the victories& still hopings, the hurts& forgiveness. You committed  to him & He's got it ALL covered. He Will guide your loved ones till you meet them again, you clearly pointed them to Him. Sigh, of course you never wanted to be compared to "perfect", but you were passionately real, heart felt raw, incredibly in love with Jesus & ALL whom He let touch you and intensely against wrongs. May we all honor & mirror the finest of your examples, let go of any ughs, and just LOVE each other while we're here. I miss you SOo much, Mary & it's a pain I'll take.. for I KNOW we grew better, & better for others having been able to let our walls down, trust, pray & love as dear friends should... many XO XO XOs hon, till I squeeze you with JOY again! O:-)

It was just 5 days before her passing that we were chatting on Facebook and to see that we lost our dear sweet High School friend is absolutely heartbreaking. I am praying for her loved ones that she left behind. I believe she is up there where all beautiful angels help guide all of us. Looking fabulous fully restored, holding a glass of wine under a palm tree on a white sandy beach when she's relaxing! Lighting a candle for a beautiful friend.

Mary my heart goes out to your family. You were so sweet and so kind. Your beauty would light up a room when you walked in. My biggest regret will now be that I never made the time to catch up with you. Life is so short, and the times we shared will never be forgotten! Rest in peace dear friend. Till we meet again.

Our deepest condolences to the family of Mary. She spent her teenage years at the church and we grew to love her very much. She has been a wonderful blessing to us personally allowing me stay in her home while healing from dental work and always showing love and kindness to many. May the Lord comfort each of you and surround you with peace that can only be found in the Holy Spirit in times like these.

My heart aches for your family. Mary was a life that was brighter than bright. She had a gift of being an incredible friend and an advocate. I probably knew her more than others as were inseparable friends growing up and into our adult life. I have so many memories that make me smile when I think of her. I always admired her strength in the face of adversity. May the many memories you have of this wonderful life taken way too soon bring you some comfort. I believe she is an angel watching over all of her family.

My deepest condolences at this difficult time to all of Mary's family, near and far. I am so saddened by her sudden and unexpected passing, and I will remember her fondly. She was a graceful, lovely person and she cared deeply and felt with all of her heart. She recognized pain in others and always had kind and uplifting words to offer - she did this for me, and it will not be forgotten. I really am so taken aback by this and it is just so hard to believe. We spoke of getting together someday and catching up, and I am so sorry that we didn't get that chance. I wish you sweet, beautiful Mary,and all of your loved ones, peace. Parting is such sweet sorrow.
