What a pleasure it was to know and hang with Mary. Fun loving, easy going and the best friend you could have in the world. I sure will miss my friend and the great times we had together. Karen, I am here for you and we will keep up the tradition of having fun times together, knowing Mary is watching down on us and giving us our blessing to enjoy ourselves and live life to the fullest. Vodka shots for sure. Love Colleen XXXX
