    I will never forget all the times Mary had me with her, I was her lil side kick and learned so much from her, especially when it came to being a head strong women. Mary was a fun and caring person with a huge personality (the life of the party) that would just draw you in like no other. I will forever hold her near and dear to my heart and never forget 12/17. I love you Mary:cry::heart:
