I am saddened to just hear of her passing. I lost touch when she and Duke separated but never forgot the impact she´s made on my life. Mary helped shape who I am and the joy I try to bring others to this day. I often think about her happiness. Her beautiful smile, amazing laugh and great tan! She would take me on car rides as a teenager with Macy Gray or the Friday soundtrack blasting out her little car. I will never forget her laugh. It was the best thing about her. I met her at 16. I´m 42 now and still think about the year I got to spend hanging out with her at my dad´s. I hope her family reads this and sees how just a sliver of her presence made the biggest difference on so many people, which spreads through humanity for the better.

Nancy and Linda,
I am so saddened to learn of the loss of our beautiful Mary. Some of my favorite teenage memories included you all. Mary really did light up a room. Her laugh was so infectious. Her heart was so big!
Praying for you all during this very sad time. Praying God will comfort your hearts. Mary touched so many lives and I'm forever grateful she was part of my life.

It's with heavy hearts we send our deepest condolences to the family of our dear beloved friend Mary, who always through open arms and a bright an exuberant soul filled with love and warmth, welcomed us into her own. Always selfless she was, and put others needs before her own and did it with a passion and fire as hot as the sun itself. She met everyone with the brightest smile and the most contagious, soul filled, and infectious laugh indeed. God truly blessed us when she entered our lives and now let the blessings become the heavens as an angel is welcomed home. I will forever cherish the memories that will be eternally reminisced upon and one day shared again together, Rest in the love of Christ and the Holy Spirit and I pray that she knows the love for her in our hearts will be forever cherished. <3
