ar Sugar Plum Fairy: A year has gone by? Oh my. I look back and realize something about any friends I have had throughout my life. They all possessed a wisdom about humanity, wielded snark and hilarity like a boss, but most of all shone inward with the brilliance of compassion. Mary overflowed with compassion and joy. She has been missed terribly and often, but I know every time I get a glimpse of her in my memories, I can't help grinning wide. You are so loved.
