I loved Mary! She always would say " Your nice, your sweet, your beautiful!" She was so loving! It wouldn't matter if she hadn't seen you in a long time,she'd come over to you with that big smile she always had and excitedly say,"hi!" She will be missed!

Mary was a bright light in our world. She was not only my sister, but my friend. I miss her terribly. In case you are so moved and since we will not be having a formal service, please consider a donation to the Indiana Donor Network. They were so wonderful to us and the work they do is so important. And a public shout-out to her wonderful caretakers, May God always bless you for your loving care of Mary. Christina Clingerman Hemphill

I remember brushing Mary´s hair on your front porch on many occasions, so enjoyed by both of us. So glad she is at peace. Praying for all the family.

I am so very sad to hear of Mary´s passing. She was a real sweetheart. She shared her home with my brother, Shane Costanzi until his passing in 2021. They were great friends and roommates. May the cherished memories you shared help you through this difficult time.
