    I have fond memories of my times with Mary. Our younger teenage relationship had many deep thoughts and an understanding with our feelings and the love we shared for each other and many things. I cherish times spent with her and hold dearly in my heart our relationship both public and private. She carried burdens brought on by others and did the best she could. Always caring and loving her family as she fought her battle. Rest easy Mary -- God will be answering the questions you have sought your entire life. Thank you for being an important part of my life during a time we needed our friendship.
