Words can't express how sad we are. My mom and I first met Mary many years ago when we were on a bowling league. She loved my dad and my dad her. I'll miss chatting with her on FB and seeing all her animal posts. Keep her memory alive for lily. She loved that little girl. Know that you have an angel always watching over you.

Mary, bridesmaid at my wedding over 45 years ago when I married Jim, and a very good friend growing up down The Neck. We had some great times. We lost touch for years but found each other again on FB. I was so happy to hear from you and catch up on life. I loved all the photos of you and of course, your precious Lili and Jen you posted. I pray for your family because nobody could have expected just how sick you became so fast. You lead a life of friendship and decency that touched so many. I am praying for your family. Your worries are over, you are at peace with God. Now your family has to find a way to heal the big hole you left behind. I know this struggle personally after losing my husband to lung cancer 4 months ago. It is a very difficult thing to do, the healing will be slow, but the memories, the memories will go on forever.

Tears instantly streamed down my face as a dagger when through my heart when I saw your beautiful face pop up;you staring back at me. Such a stunning picture your loving husband and daughter chose. Stunning! You were beautiful. I can't believe its real. You were not suppose to go! No, not now, Jesus not now. We want to scream, "No,!" And we have. We had a fight ahead of us sis! We were suppose to get to fight this ###### cancer, To kick its a## ! I am so sorry you didn't get to but as I think, maybe you did sis. Maybe you did by leaving, not letting it send you in pain for months. So I say your slogan, ##Cancer! Dear sister, I so hope what we have heard, that when we leave this world love ones come to greet us. I hope Paul was there and you ran to him. I hope you laughed across through the gates of heaven holding your precious brother Paul's hand as he led you to Mom, Dad, Auntie Claire, Auntie Rita and all our loved ones who have left us. I hope it was a fantastic reunion and a dancing party! Please tell them hello and that they were never forgotten, as you will never be. We have so many wonderful family memories, so many and many 'sister' ones, even :X ones;
It's been an interesting journey for sure. Fond memories flood me along with this agonizing hurt. You were far too young to be leaving! You had so much more living to do, so much. My heart and my head are at battle with trying to find answers- maybe Mom made another deal in heaven to take you from the pain like she did Paul? Our mom, so strong and beautiful too I will try to hold that thought of her making a deal! I love you sis, always have and will . I whisper, "White Christmas" Lu! Love, your little sister Pattie -

Mary my friend, , We had some good times thru High School and after we both married our guys Gary and Gary who were also good friends thru high school. How crazy is that, they were friends with the same name and they married us, who were friends! I miss you my friend but I'm glad you didn't suffer. You were much too young to be taken from us. You were a special person and loved by everyone that met you. I know you are at peace and now you are an angel watching over your beautiful family.. Till we meet again my dead friend, love always Gail

I was saddened to hear about Mary's passing. I really enjoyed talking to her when I worked upstairs at Doughboy. I loved her stories about her vacations and her granddaughter. I know how much she loved and cherished her. Mary, I hope your resting easy and out of pain.

I will miss seeing Mary on my trips to Doughboy's. Mary was a pleasure to do business with. I always looked forward to needing to stop in so I could "catch up" with Mary, who always had time to talk no matter how busy she really was. Rest in Peace Mary, you earned it.
