Mary, you lived across the street from my parents for 15 years. You watched me grow up from a little girl to a woman. You were the first person I saw when I walked down the aisle. I know you are shinning down on everyone and having a party with Mike. You will be greatly miss. Love you always!

We are so saddened to know that you are without your beloved Mary. She was an amazing person! She became our friend within minutes of meeting her and her face lit up any room. She was so full of life and inspired so many. She is looking down on you and will always be with you in spirit…our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Mary was always a fun loving young lady who will be missed by all. I have known her since she was a little girl and have watched her grow into a fine lady. Glad she knows my Lord Jesus!

We met Mary thru Mark. My husband Bryan & Mark have been friends since junior high school. Once you met Mary you knew she was a speical person and always thought of others first. When Mary knew we were coming to Florida she would make sure we knew what was happening in town from fairs to where to go dancing while we were here! We always had fun with the two of them, we bought a place in Boca Raton to be close to them!

We feel knowing Mary has made us better people! You always will be dancing next to us!

Mary Love You!

I met Mary when she came to my home for Grief Share meetings after the loss of her son. I knew quickly that Mary knew how to grasp the hand of God for the strength she needed. Her faith in God turned her mourning into dancing & joy. She shared that faith with everyone she knew, praying the instant she knew you had a need. I feel so blessed for having had Mary in my life. She was a gift from God to all who knew her. I will cherish all the memories of so many fun times with her. She made life fun, adventurous, & exciting. I love you Mary.
