I have known Mary for over 16 years when we both just joined Renderosity and we were both active at some other graphic forums. She was the sweetest person, always leaving some encouraging feedback, never angry words. She was smart and creative, she learned modelling herself, became a vendor and she was a great digital artist. She loved the fantasy world in the broadest spectrum, from fairies and leperchauns till the last frontier of Startrek. In real life she was a fighter for the weak and innocent, the persecuted and the poor, fighting for animal rights, rights of unborn babies, persecuted Christians in Syria and Iraq, the poor and the hungry. She was a devout Catholic and she wasn't afraid to let the world know where she stood. I admired her for that. I think it was last winter when she fell ill with Cancer. She told me not to worry and that she would be fine. That was how she was. I was sure, knowing Mary she would fight this (and she did) and win this battle. Great was my shock (I still can't really comprehend it, while I write this) when I heard she had lost her battle. She was a very special person. Mary was a great inspiration to me and I am honored to have been friends with her. I will miss her very much. She will be forever in my heart!
My sincerest condolences to her husband and son, her brothers and sisters and her mother. And to the Many MANY friends Mary had. Rest in peace my friend.!
