To Richard and Tanya and Family:



Mary was one of my best friends. She was more of a sister to me than anyone else in my life. She was so beautiful. She lit up a room everytime she walked in and everyone noticed her because she was such a bright light to everyone around her. But more than that, she had the great ability to make me laugh or feel better if I was having a bad day. No matter what was going on, Mary would have some great idea, even if it was to just watch a movie, and she would make me have so much fun. I loved that about her. She was an amazing massage therapist and I was so pround of her for that. I spent a lot of time with her in middle and high school and we shared a lot of good times but I am so glad that I had the priveledge to spend the last 6 months with her and live with her. She will always have a special place in my heart. To Brandon: I never got to really know you but Mary always spoke very highly of you. I am so sorry. I wish I could have spent more time with her. She was such a great girl. To Richard, Tanya, and family: I loved your daughter and she was one of the happiest people in the world. I am so sorry for your loss. TO MARY: I love you girl. You will always be with me.

My heart is filled with sorrow for the sudden loss of a sweet, vibrant ray of sunshine named Mary.

If you let her, Mary could work her way right into your heart, she did in mine.

Mary was our "baby" in Massage school. She always seemed to know when you needed a hug just to make it through the day.

I am so glad that God allowed Mary's life & mine to intertwine.

May each of us find comfort & peace through God with His divine love & grace.

Tanya,

We are troubled to learn that Mary's life was so short. We really only knew her as that pre-teen sweet heart who was so responsible and attentive to our daughters when we visted you and Jim in January of '97. From her picture it is apparent that she grew to a woman whose exterior beauty was an amplification of her inner beauty.

Please know that our hearts are with you and Mary's spirit.

Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I first met Mary when my daughter Tara brought her home from school way back in junior high. They were such good friends all through junior and high school. This past year they had really been in each others lives and everytime I would talk with Tara she always had some story about her and Mary doing things. Even though I had not seen Mary in the last couple of years she was still a part of my life through Tara. Mary was so beautiful and she could light up a room. it was a blessing to me and to my family to have had Mary in our lives. I am so sorry and I will continue to think of Mary and all of the great times that she had with my family and with Tara.
