Sweetie you were the love of my life.  I was very blessed to have you in my life. Never forget your smile, your laugh, kindness for everyone and your love for me. I will always treasurer the many trips we went on. The Gateway Arch, you where brave and rode it, Mount Rushmore, the roller coaster rides at Cedar Point that you loved to ride, Niagara Falls and many other places we went. Your favorite one was Graceland that you always wanted to see. I love you Sweetie. Rest in Peace till we meet again. Love you Sweetie
P.S. Teddy misses you to

Mary was truly very special not only to me, but to many others.  She was always thinking of others. She and Tom never visited me without bringing something for me to treasure.  The thimbles, doll, toy sewing machines , etc. all are special to me.  Words cannot begin to express my sympathy for her children, grandchildren and Khloe. She loved all of you. Always in my memories.  May God bless each of you with peace and comfort. Love to all

Too my beautiful mother I have been so happy since we started talking to each other more than once every 20 years I wish I could have been more close to you I would say one of my favorite memories is how much your loved all of us you always had confidence in us and trusted that we would make good choices I think you were right and you know what we are going to be alright and we are going to love you more and more my heart is hurting but I'm going to be alright till I see you again I love you mom I still hear you singing happy birthday to me I love you 

I had the pleasure of meeting Tom and Mary at the SE/East now Portland Relay for life while I was the event chair.  I will never forget Zac as Mr. Relay, we all had so much fun with that, and he looked amazing! They both always gave so much of themselves. At times I had to make sure Mary was being good to HERSELF and resting, because she was working to hard!  We had a great time throwing candy and passing out Relay information out at the 82nd parade.  It didn't take long and we were having Birthday, Halloween parties and BBQ's together. Mary was such a wonderful, kind and giving woman.  I know she will be missed by all her friends and family.  I feel very blessed to have known her and that I had her in my life.  I will always think of her fondly.  She left us to soon...…..
I'm praying for Tom, her Sisters, Kids, Grandkids, and new Great grand daughter. What a hard and sad time for you all.

Aunt Mary, you were such a huge influence in my life literally since I was about 4 years old. You've always been my cool, hip,fun Aunt and I love you with all my heart. My earliest memory of you was actually when I was 4 and you said you would give me a dime to ride the Rock o Plane with you. It was the early 60's so there weren't any real safety rules at the carnival, lol. I'm now 61 and that ride is still my favorite! You were always beautiful and wore the most fashionable clothes. Your hair was always gorgeous and makeup perfect. You have always had a sense of adventure and fun and you have been my role model my entire life! You really are my idea of a perfect woman. We've bonded over many issues since I've been an adult and I will carry on even though it will be tough without you. I promise you we will vote that idiot out of the White House and I'll have a tequila shot to celebrate in your honor on election night! Every episode of The Walking Dead I think of you. This August we will Time Warp around the campfire for you at our family reunion. I will strive to be as strong as you. And when my time here is through I will be happy to see you help me over to the other side. I love you so much. Until we meet again.........

I am so grateful you became part of our family through Uncle Tom. Thank you for being a bright and shining light. One day we will meet . Until then, RIP my Dearest Mary.

Rest in peace my beautiful, joyful, amazing friend. I'm forever grateful for your precious friendship.

I met Mary in July 1988 we worked at Epson together. Mary has always been a fun loving social person, always has had a ton of people in her life and she could handle their coming and going. She is a loyal, loving person, selfless and supporting of family and friends. I am confident to her last conscious thoughts feelings and conversations were with concern for others even though she was fighting her own fight. She owned her life, she made the decision to live to the fullest and not allow anything even cancer to decide for her. She lived as she wanted to and she did it with dignity and grace. Mary never complained  or felt sorry  for herself.  This woman had been through hell and back in her life but she never let it define her. Those loving doe eyes, that big smile, that laugh, her kindness and her love. Wow what a lady and what an example. Kind of an hard act to follow. All who know her and who were touched by her love her dearly.

As a friend of Cher, I was so glad I got to meet Mary this year for the first time. Her smile and personality were something to cherish. She will be missed by many. Be assured she is watching down on all her family and friends from Heaven with that smile.

The one thing I remember about you more then anything Mary, is your forever smile. It never ended! You made an imprint on many people.  You will be missed by everyone.   ❤

I have only had the oppertunity to be around you a handful of times over the years. But each time I was able to learn more about your beautiful disposition. You are kind and generous enough to invite me into your home and guide me around Portland. May you continue to smile down upon us,  may your family be blessed with strength and healing memories of you.

Auntie there is not just one specific thing I will miss,  I will miss everything about you.. Your kind , loving personality, your laugh your ability to love unconditionally when others treated  you badly. Always lending a hand to those who needed one putting others before yourself.. Your LOVE and LOYALTY TO YOUR  49ers. Your a  a true hero and inspiration to many  who have the battle to fight .  You fought to the very end with hope dignity and determination. I am honored I have gotten to call you Auntie my entire life .You will be greatly missed and loved by so many . The only plus in the entire situation is your no loner in pain and your reunited with so many of our loved ones .. There is a party in paradise and maybe a little trouble too .. Forever in my heart and never forgotten .I love you my BRAVE WARRIOR  . Till we meet again I love to infinity and beyond .. 💜💜💜

Mary,  Dear lady my heart aches at your passing but I am thankful that I got to spend a few minutes with you before you went home to heaven.
  Thank you for your beautiful daughter and my lifelong friend. 
 You did a great job as a mother,  sister,  auntie, grandma and friend.
  I have the best memory when Cher  and I were teenagers of you trying to teach me how to use eyeliner after you had to burn the tip. 
I didn't let it cool down and got a great big glop on my eye that took forever to get cleaned up to finish my makeup. Of course if we hadn't been laughing so hard,  the 3 of us, maybe it would have got fixed sooner. Lol
 You are out of pain now my dear friend but you've left your mark on several hearts. 
 Be at peace😇😇😇😇😇😇
