For Cookie, Mitch, Glen, Lori.

I will miss my Brother inlaw and friend. We had our differences when we were younger but as time went by we had a great respect for each other and became best friends. Ed helped fule the fire in me for racing that I still feel today. One of the things we never got to do was have him take me for a ride around Thunder Bird. He also taught me about life and hard times and how not to let it step on you. I am a stronger person because of him, and I learned how to realy Party!!! Hats off to the good times and not so good for every thing we do helps make us who we are and hopefuly we are wiser.

I promise to always keep in touch with Cookie and the kids, and I expect to see your smilin face when its my time to leave this world, we will go racin my friend!!

As I write this I feel you smilin on me, I will truley miss you until we meet again.

I Love You!! Judy (sister inlaw)##imported-begin##Judy Lareva##imported-end##

I am taking a moment to remember a sweet, special young lady. Mary, you are not forgotten. As I sat in the midst of Eric's wedding to Miss Jennifer Dawn Depoy, there were so many emotions, yet I was reminded of you. YOU would have been married. You would have been a mother. The irony is that the interruption of your exuberant and amazing spirit here on earth, was the occasion for their reconnecting, getting reacquainted and marriage. There is a part of me that wants to believe you were an unseen guest, applauding their day. I miss you Mary.##imported-begin##Sue Wagenmaker##imported-end##

To the family,
I read of the loss of your beloved Mary and I want to express my deepest sorrow. In life we deal with so many unexpected things but the worst of them is a death of a loved one. It is so hard to deal with because we have a built-in desire to live and enjoy life with our family and friends. May you be encouraged by reflecting on the promises that God has given you thru his word the Bible, concerning the resurrection hope of seeing your Mary. I hope that you find comfort in reading these scriptures. John 11:11-44, John 5:28, 29 and Revelation 21:3, 4. May you all endure this pain and know that “the God of all comfort.” (2 Corinthians 1:3) is there for you. My prayers are with your family.
Sincerely,
Karen Cross##imported-begin##Karen Cross##imported-end##

To the Wagonmakers: My deepest sympathies go out to you. I am so, terribly sorry for your loss.

Mary was such a unique light in this world. She and I were very close friends for several years. I have so many amazing, fun, crazy memories with her... as an adult, looking back, I really realize how special those times were. It's so easy to take life too seriously. With Mary around, you never had to worry about that happening! I honestly cannot remember how we met, since we didn't go to the same school together or live near each other. But once we met we spent as much time together as possible. The first thing we bonded over was New Kids On The Block! Both of us were so obsessed... Mary's favorite was Joe. I remember dancing a lot together, walking down to the corner store for candy, visiting Harvey and Ben's rooms for more laughter and jokes, writing each other the most ridiculously decorated letters and post cards, always making up skits, taking a photographic series featuring a ketchup bottle, and even getting into a little bit of trouble!! Mary always, without fail, made me laugh so hard. So did her family. I have such warm memories of being in their home. Thank-you for all of those great times!

Sadly I hadn't been in touch with Mary in about 8 years, since she came to visit me in Boston. I am so happy to hear she was doing well, living a beautiful life, and still infecting people with her charm, wit, and creativity.

Mary, if you're out there, I love you and thank you for being a part of my life.##imported-begin##Sara Schaub##imported-end##

What I remember about Mary.

First of all we've known each other petty much all our lives.

We went to Calvary Baptist Church and school together. During church instead of going to our Bible class we would either sneak up to the balcony and sit or we'd just hide out in the bathrooms.

We used to go to McLaughlin School park and swing and listen to New Kids On The Block for hours. Her bedroom walls were covered in there posters.

I remember she had a small scar on her stomach. She told me they cut out her butt. She never did tell me what it really was from.

She cut her hand really bad once. So we had to hold hands on the other side while we walked. She wanted to take care of me because she was older than me.
We used to walk to Zack's,which was a small store, and buy a bag of candy for only a dollar.
Once I got stuck on there garage window sill because I was scared of heights, but I wanted up there with her to tan.
I remember going trick or treating even though we were to old. We saw a dummy laying on the hood of a car, When we went up to see it this guy jumped up and scared us so bad. It was funny though.
She used to try to teach me to write like her but I never could. She had the prettiest hand writing.
We used to tell people we weren't born we were hatched from Coo coo bird eggs.
We would sit in my tiny closet and play with Barbie’s for hours. Even though it was so small and hot.
She always had something funny to say. We were crazy when together. Which was pretty much all the time. We only were separated when we were sick.
Mary taught me it was ok to have fun and be crazy. I never even thought about it. Being with her it was just natural to be goofy.
She was like a sister to me. I was at her house or she was at mine.

I feel so bad and hate myself for not keeping in touch better. I kept saying I'll call her tomorrow. Now there won't be a tomorrow.
There are so many more memories but I could write all day and never finish. I loved her very much and I'm going to miss her. Her smile was contagious. Even if I didn't know what was so funny that smile made me smile or laugh. She will never be forgotten.##imported-begin##Michelle (Macy) Spencer##imported-end##

Mary was an amazing person. Her smile lit up a room and her humor was brilliant. I am sad to never see what awe inspiring things she would have done as a mother. She was sunshine.
Mary, I miss you.##imported-begin##Kimberly Ellis##imported-end##
