Flowers
I daydreamed I stood before your place of rest
Remembering, I loved you the best.
You struggled to stay in this world,
A tiny, beautiful baby girl.
When I heard you passed, I cried
My tears were not for you but for why you lied.
When I saw those last words, I came to know
Your death still reaps the flowers your life had sowed.
I am sad to see your last hour
But I take solace in the beauty of your flower,
Not the blossom in this day and hour,
But the struggling, blossom of a long-ago, tiny flower.
Known but unnamed

Mary was such a fashion icon to me as a pre-teen, when she was besties with my sister, Missy. She was the coolest and the most sly, with her neon yellow nails and black outfits, and she was truly a hilarious, beautiful teen that inspired me to be original and bold. I am so incredibly sad I didn't get to see her in our adult days. I am sending so much love to you and your precious child. x

Brian, our hearts ache for you and Luke during this incredibly difficult time. MK was a remarkable woman, and her love and spirit will forever remain in the memories you hold dear.

Mary lived a few doors down from me in Rob Roy when we were in high school, and her dad helped me get one of my first summer jobs. I remember her as bright, funny, and full of life — it’s hard to believe that was over 30 years ago. I’m truly heartbroken to hear this news. She was a wonderful person, and I’m grateful I got to know her. I’m very sorry for your loss.

I’m so sorry for you and Luke’s loss. I only met her a couple of times but she was funny and light. Praying your happy memories bring you comfort during this time. Sending all our love and condolences from the Jackson family.

I have so many happy memories of Mary: as her teacher, at our house so often as a teen, at Missy’s wedding, at your wedding, and even getting to hold your precious baby boy. My hugs and sympathy to you, Brian and Luke.
