I will always hold my Mary dear to my heart. She made my life richer and more special in countless ways. We shared coffee, laughter, and tears. We took to the road for days, touring around in her spray-painted car, going to concerts or beaches or just about anywhere. (Rachel was there for several adventures, such as tracking down David Bowie and/or Peter Murphy, who seemed to love Mary.) We had so many plans, but never did get to Sedona. We danced at pow wows and drum circles, and attended astrology and photo workshops; we took seaside vacations. We were the Dynamic Duo.
Mary's camera was with her wherever she went, and her plastic camera photos in particular were sheer magic. Whether shooting photos of the cats or Ground Zero in New York, she saw everything through a unique perspective. Mary was one of a kind.
My family accepted her as part of our family, and she accepted them. She passed away on my late uncle Bob's birthday, and perhaps she met up with him.
My heart goes out to Rachel, Royce, Makayla and Ryan. We will all miss her dearly, and we will always remember and love her laugh.
With adoration, Love, Light, and Blessings... Have a new life of bliss, Mary!
