Dear Randy and dear family,
I remember you from high school. We didn't know each other well and only met very briefly when I was with Christy Armstrong in the summer of 1974. I remember how very nice you were.
I'm so very sorry to hear of the loss of your daughter. My sincerest condolences to you, your wife and children in the loss of Mary. God bless you and comfort you always, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Will keep you and your dear family in my prayers always.
Sincerely yours ,

Tomorrow marks 13 years. It seems like just yesterday. I think about you often. I especially think about reading your poems in English class, Sophomore year. You were such a beautiful writer. I also remember that your handwriting was beautiful. I knew you for a few years, and I don't have a single bad memory of you. I miss you. I hope you are resting peacefully. God bless you and your family. <3

I just found out yesterday through a mutual friend about this terrible tragedy. I love you Mary and I will remember you till I live. Its just too painful to know that some one as beautiful and young and as innocent as yourself could be snatched away like this. My most heartfelt condolences to Randly and Laurie, and to Mat and Scott.

I´d also like to express my condolences.
I never knew Mary so its hard to find the right words without appear inappropriate. These comments and pictures touched me, as I myself recently lost my family. And although Im not religious, I know that one day we will see our loved once again.
Mary, please take care of my people

Sincerely...

I will think of you tonight, this beautiful girl that I never knew.

I can't really say anything that has not already been expressed, except to say that my heart is permanently broken, and that I'm beginning to recognize that in this realm, perhaps that's not such a terrible thing.

Maybe we could all be a little more compassionate with a bit of vulnerability.

I look forward to the long talk that I hope we'll have when next we meet.

Love, Dad

It's been 12 years since you've been gone. We all still love and miss you Mary. Hope you're doing well on the otherside.

I didnt know Mary but it is my belief that once we are on the other side we will know everyone. She has an amazing likeness to a young girl that I know.
It is my Goal in life to reach out to perfect strangers and say "you are not alone" I lost my cousin on 10/31/12 and my best friend since the third grade on 7/17/12.
As a perfect stranger,,,, I understand.
I am sorry for your loss.

Dear Laurie and Randy,

How hard this must be for all of you. Five years seems like an eternity when you loose someone you love. Mary will always be in all of our hearts and she is in our thoughts often. Laurie, I have always loved your quick smile. You once told me to take one hour at a time and that was very comforting, know that you are loved and prayed for often. Maggie, Gary and family

I will alway's miss my sweet younger cousin Mary! One thing i always think about when i think of her is how she was there the day i woke up from my coma. If i could do or say one thing to her it would be to ask her about that day, and begin a new relationship and friendship. I never got to know her as well as other's, but she will ALWAYS be in my heart and thought's.....

Laurie, my dear cousin, even tho we don't see each other often, I love you so very much. I didn't know Mary, except for the times I ran into her at the Jewel with Randy and Matt. She always seemed so shy, and so beautiful. Then there were the times the 3 of you would stop by my house to say hi. Randy, I always cherished those unexpected meetings with the 3 of you at the Jewel. I do know how very much Mary was loved and I would give anything to have he back here with us. I feel we are all pre destined for our final day, unfortunately God takes some of us far too early.I always saw Mary as a beautiful dancer because she always looked so graceful. I'm confident that she is dancing in the clouds and and smiling upon all of you, her family.

My love to all of you, Laurie, Randy, Scott and Matt. Love Eileen

Mary and i are cousins. I loved her very much. The one thing looking back is I wish we wouldve known eachother better. But I do carry you with me. My daughter knows she has a cousin watching over all of us. You have touched alot of peoples lives and will always be remembered and loved and missed.

Laurie, Randy, Scott and Matt,

Our prayers and thoughts are with you always, especially at this time.

I didn't know Mary that well. We had a few classes together, but we never got around to talking. Still, I think about her from time to time. I wish I would have befriended her, or at least talked to her a little more. She had a very pleasant personality. But, high school is a strange place in a stranger time. Things happen around you and you either get caught up in it, go with the flow, or get lost somewhere amidst the confusion and chaos. Those of us who made it emerged with a unique sense of self, scars and successes and all.

We take this new understanding of ourselves to college. Who we enter as is often vastly different from who we are when we leave. Finishing up my final classes in college, preparing to leave, I wish I could reach back to the moments I spent in high school. Looking back now, it was all over so quickly. I would have told my younger self to not be so sure of yourself at that age - and to not be afraid to approach people and talk to them. I would have told myself that the people worth knowing were the ones who were sitting in the hidden rows of your English classes. I would have told myself that the quieter ones were the ones who had something real to say. And I would have told myself to take advantage of the time I had, because it would be over before I knew it.

On the 5th anniversary of Mary's passing, I want to tell her family that I'm sorry I didn't take the time to say hello to her and ask her how she was from time to time. She has, without a doubt, touched my life. I will continue to remember her as I go through life.

Even though you are gone, Mary, we all still think about you. Your beautiful smile and contagious laugh haunt our dreams. We often wonder why you were taken from us so soon. So very soon. But then we realize that you were just to precious to be kept here on Earth. You were needed elsewhere. The only thing that comforts us, is that we know that you are happier. There has been an end to your pains, and to your sorrows. But even though you are gone, none of us will ever forget you. Mary Zirkle Rest In Peace. We love you.
