Even though I only knew Mary for a short time compared to others, I grew very fond of her right away because he was sincerely warm and caring to everyone. I admired her quick-wit and how she made it a point to enjoy life and appreciate what was really important despite the difficulties in the road. My fondest memory of Mary was when she showed the most heart of anyone at work during our Christmas program to support a needy family. She not only helped find a very deserving family, donated food,etc. but also volunteered to help me wrap everything on Christmas Eve and then she personally delivered them. Afterwards Mary shared with me the joy and gratitude of the family who was in an apartment with no furniture or food; there was only water which the parents and children were drinking when she arrived. They also had never had a Christmas Tree before. I could see the true emotion and happiness in Mary's face from knowing we had made a real difference. Now years later, during the Christmas Season, when it's easy to feel overwhelmed by a sense that the true spirit of the holiday has been lost, I recall wonderful memories like this one to remind me that special people like Mary did make a difference and we should continue to do the same in their honor.

I was thinking about Mary today as I passed the hotel she stayed at when she came and visited last June. I have missed our chats and I have smiled as I remembered how my children fought over who got to ride in her wheelchair during the visit. We miss you Mary. We are praying for you and for Bill.

Bill,

Thanks for having such a great party in Mary's honor, she would have loved it. I am so glad she was there with us, as she truly was the guest of honor. I can never forget her and although she died young she lived a full life. I know it was sad for everyone to see her ill and she is doing much better now. Bill you must be a great man to have won her heart. Mary was my family and I hope you always remember you will be to. I hesitated talking to you at the party because I knew I would cry and of course I did. I hope I didn't upset you or anyone else there, but it's always overwhelming to me when we lose someone that special. Mary wants everyone to keep loving and enjoying like, I know that for a fact. She has been set free, miss her but let her go.

Mary was a lovely person and she was always good to me. I remember going to the Hollywood Bowl with her for a concert. We had a lovely time and it was the last time I saw Mary. I'm sorry that she passed away so early in life.

Mary was a wonderful and fun person to be with. My family has many fun and happy memories of times with her. We used to spend Sundays going up and down the Allegheny River in Penna. on my dad's pontoon boat. Mary played the guitar and sang. I spent several weekends with her at her apartment in Pittsburgh. We had lots of great times together. She is a special person and will be missed greatly.

Bill, I reconnected with Mary this year and I will miss her more than words can say. I know she is no longer sick and in a better place. I can see her singing the way she used to when I was little. I will always remember her laugh. When Mickey (that's what we used to call her) laughed, everyone laughed. She was an angel here on Earth and though I'll miss her, I am so grateful the pain is gone and she can see clearly again. Bill, I am so sorry you lost your best friend. She told me how much she loved you and how good you were. My sympathies are with you and your family at this time.
