Mary, You were the mother to my son at his sickest time and I was in Afghanistan. You were the sister to me when I needed to talk, and you were the friend when I needed guidance. I will never forget you and will cherish the memories. Always in my heart!

Tia Mary was a beautiful, smart, funny, and independent women. I have very few memories with her, because I live in Houston but I wish I did. I had the honor to call her my aunt and I had the honor to be in her family. I love and miss her so much.

To say Mary is an old friend is an understatement. Mary, Lupe, Liz, Carmen & I have been friends since right out of high school(loooong ago). We've watched each other grow up, go through our ups and downs of life, "matured." I pray that Mary is paving the path, and also pray that we will forever treasure her memories fondly. Prayers also to the Cadena family. Mary lived life, visited the world -- may she rest in peace. Love you, Mary!!!
