Mary will be greatly missed. May you find comfort in the Lord. It was great to see her at our 20 year reunion, looking beautiful as ever. Flawless, and ageless, as the whole class of 90' did that night. I remember our days on the softball field, and walking the halls of BA. Her friendship was unforgettable, and priceless. No matter the time lost between meeting, when you saw her again it was like no time was lost. I will never forget her, my Mary, my friend, a special gift from God. #5

There are not enough words to describe your unconditional love that you shared with so many people. I was blessed to have you as a special member of my family. You are truly a best friend and I will alway love you. Last night, on my way driving to Georgia, I cried when I drove through Gainsville. Your beautiful smile comforted me. Thank you for your love.

Dearest family, we share our deepest sympathies for our loss.When Mary came to visit us in Canada she introduced me to many cool things like def leppards song "pour some sugar on me". She bought me an Alfred Hitchcock mystery book which I still have and became a fan of. Her all time crush at the time was Boris Becker and let me tell you how much tennis she made me watch cause of it. We have had some great times as kids also. She had a great heart and I will cherish all my memories with her. I love you nouna and try your best to be strong knowing she is no longer suffering. Take care of John and your mom. Lots of love

Mary is easily the most charismatic and congenial person I've ever known. She was fiercely loyal to her friends/family and her ideals. She was eternally optimistic. She was an amazing friend, also the funniest friend I have. I will hold close to my heart the memories, texts, pictures, emails I've exchanged with her. I will miss her bright, high-pitched voice and the way her words were always punctuated by laughter, the silly nicknames she would give everyone, her beautiful smile, the silly birthday cards she'd send each year, and it goes on. To Mary's family, you should be so proud to know how loved Mary is, as evidenced by the outpouring of love and emotion of her facebook page. We will all miss her terribly.

I had heard so much about Mary (thru a mutual friend) long before I had the pleasure of meeting her in person. When we did finally meet, I realized immediately why my friend loved her so much.

Mary will be missed; however will not ever be forgotten. Bless her and her family.

To all of Mary's family. May the peace of God be with you in this your time of grief. I went to school with Mary and she was always kind, always smiling, always a friend.
