Condolence: It will be a year tomorrow that I lost my best friend. I miss your emails, I miss talking to you about anything...like Survivor, Big Brother, skincare, our pets, family, you name it. You got me through some rough times Mary, I never thought I would lose you to cancer. I know very few good people, truly good people. My mom was one, you were the other. I will always love and miss you my friend, you will always be in my heart. I won't say goodbye, I will just say, "See you later!"

Condolence: Jim, I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your beloved wife Mary. I pray for peace and comfort for you and your family.

Condolence: My condolences to Jimi and to all of Mary's family and friends. Words alone cannot describe what a wonderful and caring lady she was. I wish I could've told her what a great friend she was to my wife, Terri. Terri and her would chat for hours and hours on the phone. I sometimes wondered how they could talk for so long. She was a very caring person and helped Terri through her Mom's final years as well. Every time that they talked I could tell that my wife was more upbeat and grateful for her friendship and guidance. I only talked to Mary briefly a couple of times but I could tell by her voice that she was a kind person. She will surely be missed by all the people that she touched in her life. Rest in peace Mary!

Condolence: Mary was a great person, though I only talked to her on the phone a few times I could tell she was as she helped my mom and I get through some rough times with my grandma passing, and many other hardships as well. She was a really great friend to my mom, and I really wish more people were like her as she seemed to be a very caring and joyful person and I really enjoyed talking to her around the holidays. My thoughts and prayers go out to Mary's family and friends. God bless

Condolence: What can I say about my best friend Mary? I could write a book on how wonderful she was. She was a stranger to me back in 1998, we both posted at the HSN beauty boards (something we both took an interest in). I was going through a bad time with some health problems and had just lost my poodle Muffin. She reached out to me by email, a complete stranger, and made me feel better... it was like I knew her forever. Over the years we would eventually trade phone numbers and talk and laugh, she also got me through some very hard times. When my mom had cancer, Mary emailed her and made her feel so much better. No other friends I had would do that. My kids called her "Mary from Jersey" and loved to talk to her on the phone, she enjoyed talking to them as well. She had a wonderful laugh, a caring heart, besides my mom (whose name is Mary LaVonne) she is the best person I know. She was like a sister and best friend all rolled into one, I could always count on her to be there for me. We both loved Survivor and Big Brother, we emailed and talked about those shows all the time. I will miss you so much Mary, we were supposed to live to be little old ladies and laugh about all the wrinkles and aches and pains we had. I love you my friend, I know I will see you someday along with everyone else I love that has passed. You are in my heart always....

Condolence: Father God, Bless Jimi and family with comfort, peace and an outpouring of Your love during this difficult time. In Jesus Holy Name. Amen. Hugs and Prayers, Your Friends Kathy and Bett

Condolence: Oh sweet Aunt Mary...we are going to miss you so That big smile and infectious laugh....a sweet soul for sure...just like Nanny! You were so fun at all the family gatherings and I remember looking up to you as a kid and wanted to be as cool and pretty and sweet at my Aunt Mary. I am so sad you are no longer here, but I have faith that you are at peace with your mom and dad now. I will always cherish our time together and we will all miss you so much

Condolence: My sweet and loving Aunt Mary....oh, am i going to miss our correspondences...I am so happy we got the chance to reconnect and catch up! I always felt like you were my partner in crime and that i could tell you anything and you would never ever judge me....you always made me feel so loved and safe! My greatest memory of you was your contagious laugh! At family gatherings, your laugh would ring through the house and you would hear it outside a mile away....you made me want to laugh at everything....I am going to miss you so very much and I am so sorry that you didn't want me to worry about you....a very selfless thing....You are with my Nanny right now and many other loved ones....that is the one thing that i KNOW....makes me feel at peace that you are at peace...Thank you for all your kindness and love! Only you and Nanny knew had to love that way! I will save all your letters and put them with Nanny's and save all your emails and reread them all the time! I love you!! You were my cool Aunt and still are....I will always talk to you! May you rest in peace...unless I keep bothering you with all the talking that I will be doing to you! :) I know you would have laughed at that and probably are now! Love you!!!

Condolence: What can I say about my Aunt Mary but that she still be smiling and laughing, and at Peace with her Mother, Grandmother, and all those she loves. I know that she is still a part of my life and nothing can take my memories of her away from me. Happy memories of her laughing, smiling, and being the cheerful soul she always was no matter what life threw at her will be the first thing I think of. If ANYONE deserves peace -- it is truly my Aunt Mary. She was always the Cool Aunt, more like a Big Sister than a typical "Aunt" and that is one of the best things I can say :) She was always the one would get you the gift that Mom and Dad wouldn't -- the Star Wars Catina Play Set, the Tente Space Station, Jodi's Kitchen and General Store -- without the funny looks I got for wanting "boy toys" or something out of the ordinary. I remember her picking me up as a surprise from school and taking me with her to work with the magazine job and then spending the rest of the day in her and Uncle Jimmy's attaic apartment -- wayyy too cool in a 12 year old's opinion --- to have a Hair and Nail day -- what more could you ask for?? :) Even as I get up and older, it was me who got more serious not her. If I had a cruddy day, I could call and she would have me smiling in no time. She never let ANYTHING get her down. I will miss you forever and keep your memories in my heart. You STILL ARE THE COOL AUNT!!!!

Condolence: We met in 1973 for the first time and shortly after we lived together and struggled to survive in the first years. Although it was tough we stuck it out and it proved to bind us together and always be supportive of the other. Folks who had the pleasure to know Mary loved her from the start. No matter how she felt inside she could always muster up a smile and lift anyone's spirits. She was very caring, soft hearted and our cats who we raised as our own children could have never had a better mother figure. She loved them with all her heart, and nursed them when they were sick. Throughout our forty years together the loss of so many of them was heart breaking for her and I and I pray that she is with our departed ones now. I have never felt a greater sadness than the one I am experiencing now at her loss. She was a big part of me and now that she is gone, that part has died inside me as well. Please pray for my loving departed wife and I want to thank you all for your condolences. Thank you- Jim Wright

Condolence: I first met Mary at her father's viewing,she was 11. Way too young to lose her Dad. I just know she is reunited with her mom and dad and is in God's warm embrace. You left us here to mourn your passing but I know you are watching over Jim and helping him get through this rough time. Rest in Peace Mary.
