First, I want you all to know how much I truly love you and have always loved Mary. I want you to know that I still consider us all family and I will be there for you as much as I can financially as well as emotionally for any kind of support you need. You are always in my thoughts and prayers. Mary and I have had some really great talks and I know how hard this was for her because she loved you all so very much. Now her new journey has begun and she will always be with us. As she once said to me, I am only a phone call away so now I want to offer that to you. Please let me know if I can do anything to help you all through you pain. I will stay in touch and I love you always.

I can not begin to express the sadness I feel for each of you. We have lost the most beautiful person in our lives. Mary has been a gift from God who has touched the lives of us all, and she will live in our hearts forever. She has been my very "special friend", like a sister I never had. I will cherish the memories we have made together throughtout our lifetime, especially the ones made with all of you. I will miss my Mary dearly. May God send his healing hands upon your hearts and fill you with the peace of knowing Mary is in the glory of his presence. I love you all.
