Missing Mary Garner-Mitchell
I have been thinking about 2020 all its intense shocks.
And then I thought about Mary.
I did a post on her passing in April. Ever since, when writing a post, I often think of Mary, and feel sadness that her humor, intelligence, and zest are now missing from the comments.
I feel sadness that we never had the chance to meet, although we privately corresponded.
However, I also experience a sweet joy when I think about Mary, which makes my body tingle. I feel blessed to have known her even a bit.
The fabulous Mary.

Good people are fondly remembered.
So very true, Leigh.
She was such a pretty person….and her comments showed that it came from the inside out.
You’re making me tear up, Linda!
Just goes to show that we can have a big impact on others from far away. Mary was kind, thoughtful, and caring, all the hallmarks of the best kind of friend. Hugs to you as you mourn her and miss her, Ross.
Over the several years I’ve read your blog, Ross (binge reading back posts like one obsessed in the beginning) one begins to feel they know the individuals who frequently comment. Mary always struck me as a deeply talented, intelligent and charming person. That impression was further reinforced after reading her obituary. She always seemed like someone who would make a throughly delicious friend.
2020 has taken much from us Ross, we grieve with you.
Hi Ross, mary was my absolutely closest friend! She was immensely special in so many ways. Special really isn’t a word that can cover the depth of her caring soul and amazing creativity.
I’m sorry you never got to meet her in person. The range of her emotions was wide and we could get deep in conversation one minute and the next die laughing over something so silly!
She is deeply loved and missed by all of us!

Oh, Kathy! What a delight to hear from you.
I’m quite jealous though that you had the opportunity to know, and love, Mary in person. I imagine that your sense of loss must be immense…but that your memories are rich and joyous.
BIG BIG BIG hug!
Ross
