Mary Darl Mastrine passed away peacefully on Thursday Sept. 29th. Mary Darl was an incredible woman that I have known my entire life. Her daughter Dana and I were childhood best friends and to this day I consider her to be the best friend a person could have. We have grown from the days of playing hide-n-seek in the neighborhood to playing catch up over facebook. From days of imature fights to conversations of support no matter what the situation.
What Dana and I have is "unconditional" friendship. Not time, distance or life circumstances keep us apart.
So as I begin to prepare to leave for this funeral service today I am reminded that while I try to live in the moment, I can't help but relive my moments past.
I will miss Mary Darl and her contagious smile. I will miss her hugs and the way she always made me feel welcome. But I will always have those memories and the friendship of her amazing daughter Dana.
Rest in peace Mary Darl, I hope you and my mom are playing a good game of cards....
