I will hold you forever in my heart, I will always miss your loving words and sweet smile, and my life will be richer because you touched it. I did not want you to go, but I know that you are safe in our Saviour's arms. I know that I will see you again someday. May God bless and comfort your family at this time because they love you so very much. I will forever be grateful to you for all the times you referred to me as "your other daughter"-those words touched my heart nore than you will ever know. God works through His children, and He worked through you to touch many lives. Thank you for touching my life and for giving me my best friend, Cary. I love you, Mary. May you rest in peace.
