Dear Cheevers-McKenzie Family, Mary was my therapist for close to 25 years and earlier today I discovered her obituary. Please accept my deepest condolences to you and all of your family. Mary was such a positive influence in my life. She was so intelligent, compassionate and truly a gentle soul. I will be forever grateful to her for helping shape my life in such a wonderful way. At some point during -every single day- I am reminded of something I learned from Mary. Please know that I will never forget her. May God bless her, you and your family. Wrapping you all in love and in light.

Hello to Tim and Mary's family,

I was a patient of Mary's for many years, although not recently. She was a very special therapist--talented and compassionate. Mary helped me immensely and I knew how fortunate I was to have found her. I wish all of you my sincere condolences and hope eventually you are able to find some sense of peace. My favorite phrase of Mary's was..."you have to accept the situation but that doesn't mean you have to like it." I will always remember that and try to apply to my life when I am troubled by something out of my control. Be sure to take good care of yourselves.

Sincerely,

Marsha Goldstein [email protected]

I had the pleasure of meeting Mary in the Boston Mediumship class with Mavis Pittilla. What a beautiful soul! I truly enjoyed the time we spent together, particularly the most recent class in April-we seemed to always find ourselves sitting next to each other so I had more time than usual to just sit and visit with Mary. I enjoyed her wit, her easy smile and laugh as well as her empathy and compassion for others.My sympathies to her family, I will remember Mary as a bright Light.Mary Agnew

Mary was such an incredibly kind, warm, gifted, intelligent and giving person. She was insightful and shared her knowledge freely, always looking to help others grow and better themselves. She was a true healer and teacher, but also a student who was always learning. She was a blessing in my life and I was fortunate to know her. I will miss her terribly. I wish for peace for her family and all those who love her.

The last time I saw Mary I had wanted to thank her but didn't. I thought I would see her one last time and be able to offer my gratitude then. Please accept my deepest condolences and, on her behalf I hope, my heartfelt thank you. I truly would not be where I am today without her guidance and support for the last ten years. She was an amazing woman and I am grateful to have known her.

An amazingly gifted clinician, quintessentially kind and spiritually awakened. I am among those lives she touched. And because of her, a better version of me. Someone I have known and shared time with for 8 years. I will miss her deeply in this realm. My heart goes out to her family and close friends. I know her presence made a difference in this plain, and believe her gifts will only abound in the afterlife.

I am so incredibly saddened to hear of Mary's passing. She was a mentor, a guide, a spiritual teacher, and much more to me. Without her, I would not be who I am today; she helped me turn my life around. I have grown immensely because of her guidance. The lessons she taught me will stay with me throughout my life. I will forever be grateful for all she did for me. My sincerest condolences to Tim and her family. Prayers for you all.
