I've been remiss in not writing this sooner - but, well, there it is!

Mary has brought so much joy and so many amazingly beautiful and funny memories to my life. I don't know what it is about those damn scorpions! They're everywhere! They invaded my house at one point....ok - many points. But her sting is most welcome and much appreciated. She is strong, beautiful, sexy, uber intelligent, funny, compassionate, opinionated and she's easy to make cry. (he he).

One of the other things I love about her is that she can relate with the "must be in it's place.....and clean" thing. AND she was the one who really made me admit I had a problem......being addicted to movies. But she came thru without faultering and became my wonderful enabler - a/k/a co-hort in the crime. I must say that I know WAY too much about the making of the LOR movies!

Thank you for being such a wonderful friend - and leaving me hysterical messages that absolutely brighten my life!

I adore this woman!Thoughtful,brash,bright and what- a head a hair! Scorpionic sister,sweet singer,fellow merry maker.We have laughed past the point of tears! Shes got a keen eye,and a wit honed ,like a double edged sword,the other being her ability to get shit done!

What can I say, this lady is pure class, smart, beautiful, compassionate, and just basically fun to be with. She also happens to be my best friend and the sister of my heart and I miss her greatly since moving away from her.

Soul-sister to many... how could she not be? She offers the fullness of her mind and heart to those who are brave enough, lucky enough to touch her spirit. She is a friend in the truest sense - compassionate, honest, supportive. I am POSITIVE that her laughter will echo across time, teaching us her brand of selfless-ness and right minded-ness (but those who know her well know... that girl just ain't right in the head... I'm just sayin)

Those who are fortunate enough to have Mary in their lives will never know loneliness... or boredom, for with her life is full of lively anticipation.

Oh! and let us not forget that Mary is the 8th wonder of the physical world... her superpower of cleaning and organization has no match.

Mary...lost sister...horse woman...she of the full, beautiful, echoing laugh...I remember the day I met her years ago. You can't ask for a truer friend. Mary will tell you what she thinks, help you get your shit together, and drink until she can't eat the magnificent feast you've prepared for her...but she'll still show up! ;)

Seriously, this is a strong, compassionate, changing, magical being and, if you're blessed to be in her circle, count yourself lucky.
