This came across my feed today. I miss you

Beautiful. 💐💕💫

My Dad is 88 and still going strong with metastatic colon cancer. He’s survived two hip replacements as well!! Connection to community counts!!!! ❤️

I saw your Moth video. You touched my heart and wanted to send you so much positive support and compassion from Massachusetts!!! ❤. You chose a beautiful background for this video.

It was such an honor to share the stage with Mary that night. It was the best night of stories I had ever been a part of, but Mary's story was simply in a different category. She was also so kind and gracious backstage. I was so saddened to learn of her passing. It hit me harder than I expected even though I only spent that one day with her.. She just seemed absolutely indestructible that evening. I suppose she really is in the ways that matter.

A very powerful and moving video. I remember Mary from my earlier years working at Sea Trek Kayaking Center in Sausalito. She always had this refulgent quality about her. Her lovely, warm and expressive nature touched many people including me. I send my best wishes to her family and blow a kiss in the sky...may she catch it!

Beautiful beyond words.❤

What an extraordinarily beautiful gift you've given us all. Thank you!

Mary, being present to watch you tell this story was a lifetime high. I will miss you forever and ever. Thank you for your light. If there's anything anywhere, I know you're there, shining on us all. ❤

what a beautiful story. So moving. God Bless.

What a beautiful story of love and friendship. I know that Mary will be missed by so many and remembered by them with deep love.

Always the teacher❤ Big energy, smile, joy, and gratitude💕

Thank you Mary for gracing my life and learning at your knee. xoxoxoxoxo

Mary - you are and will always be a shiny bright light - thank you for shining on us. I miss you and the space in this world we shared.

love you my dear old friend … now or never indeed❤

Love u Mary ❤❤❤❤U rock!

What a beautiful story of love, kindness and support. It restores my belief in humanity. Sending love and blessings. ❤❤❤

Hi Mary. What an incredible story and you just keep kicking ass. But, I do have to disagree a bit with your closing statement in this story. I'm glad that people showed and are showing you lots of love. I just don't know that they are showing you more love than you showed them. You give lots of love and always have. I know you mostly from high school. The love and kindness you showed to me and everyone around you was amazing. Teen years are tough on kids, but you were a huge force for good. I enjoyed HS because of people like you. I know lots of us rolled our eyes at Sister Denisita and her stories... but I also know she would be proud of you; I am. I love the person you were then and the super woman you are now.

I can't put together a story in a way that I could tell it at The Moth, but in 1973, I had a year-old child, I was on welfare, and needed an abortion. Luckily, Roe v. Wade had just becom law, and I could obtain the care I needed. 4 years later, I had a non-concentual experience that put me in the same position. My doctor (who I later learned was a gay man and had no interest in having children) tried to tell me I shouldn't because "what if the child I had died? Wouldn't I want to replace him?" Again, I could get the care I needed without having to deal with that medical "advice." My son is 52 and I am so grateful that I didn't ever have to go through that again. One is plenty for me, thank you.

Just beautiful.

Thank you for the valuable lesson of welcoming and acknowledging love. You are an amazing person.

💠🦋🌈Thanks for mirroring in many ways my very experience with stage 4 tonsil cancer ( fall 2019) , subsequent chemo and radiation which finished shortly before Covid . I’m hopeful to have beat it …for now 🫣. Like Mary , I am grateful everyday for life, despite some side effects and limitations. Love, kindness, a great medical team and loving family are memories which help me along with faith in promises yet to be fulfilled are like oxygen. Thanks agin Mary for sharing your lovely experience with humor, and words crafted to create fellow feeling for now or never. PS. I didn’t get an excavator tho… but I did ( with my husband of 40 plus years) get a little 1000 ft. Cabin built on the back of our son’s property where we relocated so I can live close to my medical care and my family support .🌈🦋❄️🌻

So beautiful, Mary. I love your point about not needing to complete a bucket list and measuring our lives in love. Thank you.
