Mary passed away Monday night at , surrounded by her family. She died peacefully in my arms.
During the last two weeks the pains in her abdomen were getting more intense and she was feeling weaker every day. On Sunday, May 22nd her friend Barbara drove her to her daughter’s baby shower. I don’t know how she made it through the day as she was already feeling very ill. On Monday she stayed in bed almost the entire day. Early Tuesday morning she was feeling nauseous and light headed and at I took her to the emergency room at Jeff. She was admitted right away. Tests for signs of infection were negative. It was the cancer that was taking its toll. After talking to her oncologist she decided to stop all further treatments. On Friday we moved her to the hospice of the University of Pennsylvania
Mary gave me the best 8 years of my life. I miss her terribly.

Thierry,
So so so very sorry. Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to see Mary on Friday. I have never met someone who made me feel so good about myself the way Mary did. She was the best mentor and motivator I have ever met. I truly loved and respected her and will miss her greatly.
My deepest sympathy to you and Lauren as well as Mary's family.
I feel so lucky to be able to call Mary my friend.
Please know I am here for you if you need me. Love Colleen
A courageous and long battle by an amazing woman. It's heartbreaking to think of all the pain she endured. Our sincere condolences to Thierry, Lauren and the entire family.
