You fought hard sweet lady...we're all so proud of you!  I am so fortunate to have had you for a best friend.  I'll see you one day again....

I will always recall her wonderful smile and kind heart,it has been so good to have reconnected with her these past years.Despite the trials of life she retained her good heart,faith and courage.I will always cherish her memory and that she was kind to me in our youth,at a terrible time in my life and when kindness was rarely experienced.Rest in peace dear lady.

I haven't seem Mary since graduation, but in and since 2009 when I was trying to set up our 40 year reunion cruise, she started sending me messages of encouragement whenever things loooked like they were going south on the project. I also remember encouraging her when a fellow classmate whom she tried to help turned on her and was posting some nasty things about Mary. We've been good online friends ever since. I'm so sorry to learn that she lost her fight against Cancer today, before I could get back there and meet up with her in person, just once, to thank her for all her help. I will miss her deeply.
