My beautiful friend. I just wanted you to know that I am watching over Jen, like you asked me to. She has two beautiful girls now, Mariella and Emalyn, and I know you would love them. Jen and I have remained close and she has struggled mightily from losing you. But she is a fighter...just as you were. And I think you would be really proud of her. And I am grateful that you always encouraged our relationship.
I wish you were still here for both of us. And I always miss you, too. But I see you in Jen's sense of humor and her laughter. And Emmy is probably gonna look just like you. So I am reminded of you often.
I hope Heaven is treating you well. Can't wait to hug you and hear one of your jokes when I finally get there. Say hi to my mom for me. And don't you two going skiing without me.
Rest well, beautiful girl. I love you.

Annie and family,
Please know how sorry I was as I learned of the loss of your sister, Mary. Annie, I loved re-connecting with you @ our HS reunion. Please know that I will pray for you and continue to ask God to bring all of you comfort and peace.
"Hear my cry, O God; attend to my prayer. From the end of the earth I will cry to You. When my heart is overwhelmed, lead me to the rock that is higher than I." (Psalm 61:1-2)

Dearest Mary,
You are in God's calming arms, now. Your suffering, that saved many souls, is over.
I remember, at Kevin's 40th birthday party, he said that you were his hero. You were many persons hero.
Death does not seperate us. It is just a stronger way of loving. You are always with your loved ones.
We will be there, for your mass, on Saturday, praying, rejoicing and celebrating your life and all the lives you've touched, so eliquently....
Rest peacefully, beautiful
God Speed,
Love,

Kevin, Pam and the entire Burns family,
There is a line out of "Steel Magnolias" that sums up how I feel, I hope it helps you too..."I find comfort knowing that Mary is in heaven with our Lord where she will always be young and she will always be beautiful...And you will have a Guardian Angel watching over you!" If there is an Angel-in-Charge of Smiles, it will be Mary! Our deepest sympathies.

To the Burns family and to Jenny and Shane - I don't have words to say how much Mary has meant to me in the many years I've known her or how sorry I am for your grief and your loss. She is gone from all of us, and especially from all of you, far too soon. But I'll never forget the gifts she so freely gave of herself in her smile, her laughter, and her love. Nor will I ever forget her kind and beautiful heart or her bountiful spirit. She was a great friend, a loving mother, a beautiful daughter, sister and aunt, and a funny, sweet, amazing person. I feel incredibly lucky to have met her, to have known her, to have spent time with her, to have loved her, and to have so many memories of her. She will always be in my heart and never forgotten.
May God bless and keep all of you today and in the days ahead. May He comfort you in your time of sadness. And may He keep Mary close to Him until we see her again.
