Today Mary lost her fight against cancer. She is no longer with us. She passed away at 2:00 this afternoon with a great group of friends and family alongside her. Thank you all for being with us.
We love you Mary, we love you so much. We will miss you so much.
Love, your father.
Mary's Story
Mary turned 29 months old last summer. She is our little princess and the greatest love of our lives. We could have never imaged a more perfect little girl to have as a daughter. She brings great joy to us and the people that she sees every day. And she does an excellent job of "little sister" to our 6 year old son Will, stealing his toys, making him share, and taunting him any way she can. She admires Will and sees him as one of her most important teachers, copying everything he does. Those two love each other very much.
On Wednesday July 23, 2008 Mary was diagnosed with a type of cancer called Neuroblastoma. This is a very fast spreading cancer that affects infants and toddlers. There are only about 650 cases in the US each year. Google "Neuroblastoma" for all the details.
