11 memories of Mary
I did not know Mary. I am just someone who served 10 years in the Air FOrce and am fortunate that I did not have to make the ultimate sacrafice. I am sure Mary is a hero to her friends and family and I just wanted to say that she is a hero to strangers as well. Lets pray that this war is over soon and our troops can come home.
I did not know Mary. I am just a California stay-at-home mom with three teens, one is my 15 year old son who wants to serve. Today we're taking time out to honor the memory of Mary and others. May God bless her family, loved ones and friends on this Memorial Day 2008. With deep respect and prayers.
I went to basic with her, She came a few weeks later but I will always remember her first day it was lights out and we had to put her locker together for next day inspection in the dark.. good times RIP girl
I did not know Mary, but, as a very small group of Americans who share her last name, I would love to have! The name is synonymous with military service - my own father is a retired Army vet, myself a retired Navy vet, I have an active Navy brother and an active Marine Nephew. May God bless and keep her family - you are in our prayers.
I went to basic training and AIT with her. She was in my PLT. She always thought of others before herself. She did wonders while she was alive. Rest in peace girl
hey wify just stoping by to say i love you baby see you soon
I remember her from MCJROTC when I went to El Camino for a year. God bless you mary
I did not know Mary but i knew her sister A.M. A.M loved her sister very much and was very proud of her. May God continue to bless the family for their loss.
For a young woman to sacrifice all for
her country requires "A Big Heart",
THANK YOU MARY
I knew Mary Jane, I knew this sweet young lady since she was around 8 years old. Her father is my very best friend, this litle angel of GOD had stayed at my house so many times that she had her bed room there, when I recieve the call from her father to tell about the sad news about Mary Jane my heart was broken with saddness, she and my own little girl would talk with each other when she would sleep over, we will miss you.
I knew MJ all throughout high school and she was a super close friend... We all miss her and know she passed doing what she loved the most helping people by serving her country RIP MJ and god bless you you are NEVER forgotten!!!!
