Don’t look away. Don’t look down.
Don’t pretend not to see hurt.
Look people in the eye.
Even when their pain is overwhelming.
And when you’re hurting and in pain, find people who can look you in the eye.
We need to know we’re not alone—especially when we’re hurting.
Mary My Love we are never apart I’m a part of you and YOU will always be a part of me we are always together never separate Your Momma Bear Aka Marilyn ♥xo
The first time I met you I saw a lady with a beautiful smile and a mother who loved her boys

So sorry to hear of Mary’s passing. Sincere condolences to her family.
So many memories have been coming to mind the past few days, including ones that I hadn’t thought of in years. Most of them just silly little things, moments we shared as teenagers trying to find our way. The poem “A reason, a season or a lifetime” also came to mind. It says we have three types of friends and they come into our lives for one of these occasions. All three applied to my friendship with Mary.
The very first time I met Mary was in between classes in the hall at St. Thomas Aquinas. Someone had bumped into her and knocked all her books and papers all over the floor. I helped her pick them up and we introduced ourselves. I said something like “don’t worry sunshine, I got you”. We ended up in the same typing class and when she sat down across from me, she said “hey sunshine”. A friendship began.
I could fill a few pages with memories from that innocent time – a lot of laughs and a few tears. We both left school around the same time. I ended up bartending and they were looking for a waitress, so I of course introduced them to Mary and not surprisingly, they loved her. We had a lot of fun. One of the memories that stands out from that time was Blaine McIsaac’s birthday. It was a school night, so it was just Mary and I, both underage, running the bar and we invited a bunch of friends who were all still in high school to come celebrate Blaine’s birthday. We had the tunes cranked, the free poured drinks were flowing and the handful of “grown-up” regulars who were also there, joined right in to make it a helluva party for a school night Lol
Mary got me a job at Capitol Records sometime in the late 80’s or early 90’s and she pulled some strings and got me a 13 LP Beatles Box Set that I still cherish to this day. I had forgotten all about that, but as I’m typing, so many seemingly forgotten memories are coming to mind.
Mary was one of our first visitors when my daughter Chelsea was born. We were just 21 years old. A couple years after that, I was the M.C. at Mary’s wedding. Sometime over the next few years, I suppose we both just got busier in our own lives and saw less of each other, but whenever we did see each other, or have a little chat on the phone, we just picked up where we left off.
In what seemed like a lifetime later and what now feels like a lifetime ago, Mary was ironically a part of a whole new chapter of my life. The woman who is now my wife, also knew Mary from school. Denise and I both worked around the airport when we started dating, so we would lunch in that area. We walked into The Keg one afternoon and there was Mary at the door to greet us. Unbeknownst to us, she was the Hostess. It was amazing to see her and she was just so happy for us. We hugged and laughed and shared a few memories and it became our spot. So, once again, Mary was there as another new season began.
In recent years, Dee or I would occasionally message with Mary and her responses were always the same – loving and thoughtful.
Mary made the world a better place and I’m grateful for the moments we shared.
Rest in Love and Light Mary.
