Aunt Mary - I miss the holidays with you as well as visiting you in the desert. You’ve been on my mind often this year. I like to think you are visiting, watching, and enjoying your big adventure. I’m lucky to have your name. Here’s a pic of your big brother my dad John and his namesake, Grandson Jack. Love you always.

Mary was my cousin but I had not seen her since her Dad's funeral in 1988. It sounds like she was very talented and loved by many. She died too young.

There are no words for what I feel right now. Clau-clau and I loved you. Years and things aside. I always have. All of my love, and I hope you're smiling wherever you are. Love, Mina

MC and I met when she was sixteen in Bellingham, WA and she impacted my life in so many ways. I love telling how she was kicked out of Brownies for smoking. That's our girl! She lived her own way but did not have to step on any one in the process. I learned so much about being a better person from my life with her. She lives on in each of our memories.

I grew up with Mary and shared many formative experiences in life with her. She lived a full and accomplished life and died much too young.

Yes! MC spent her life helping others realize their dreams! That's a perfect way to sum up
Mary's love for life and the human race. She was a sweet, caring, strong, loving woman who never put herself first. I will never forget the love and caring that you gave me.

MC,why do I keep waiting for your texts? And why do I think of you everytime I see something that I know you would think was funny? I miss you so very, very very much. As my son Nicholas said, "everyone needs Mary Charlotte in their lives." Miss you so very very much, my beloved friend.

I met Mary at Bellevue High School, we were age 16 through 18. She was beautiful in every way. I am finding out what a fantastic scholar she has been earning a Masters degree, WOW! I just friended her on Face Book. I did not know how terminal her condition was. I Love you Mary you are a beautiful person; rest in peace. Wendy Granath
