I worked with Mary for about two years, and loved every minute with her. I would talk to her the whole day due to she was considered my partner in crime. She was my neighbor at work and I miss her dearly. I loved you like my friend and mentor. I will deeply miss you, you are in my prayers and in my heart. Miss you, Mary....

Those we love don't go away, they walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard, but always near, so loved, so missed, so very dear.
