The loss of a family or friend can be so difficult to bear. We can find comfort from our merciful god Jehovah and the beautiful hope of the resurrection that he has given us, and a time when death will be a thing of the past. We find this hope at 1 Corinthians 15:55 where it says “death where is your victory.. death where is your sting” The bible has many promises like this that give us hope of a much better life. I hope that you can find a measure of comfort from the hope found in the bible.

I am so sorry for your loss. Losing a loved one can be a very difficult time for many families. I hope the resurrection promise brings you peace and comfort. At Acts 24:15 we are promised see our loved ones again. Won't it be wonderful to see that time true? Please accept my sincere condolences.

You have my deepest sympathy for your loss and my heart goes out to your entire family. One day death will be undone and you will embrace Mara again under better conditions. Acts 24:15 & Psalms 37:11,29. I hope this message will bring you a measure of comfort in this difficult time. Sending my sincere condolences.

My heartfelt sympathy to the family for your loss. Such a loss can bring many tears and much heartache. God is aware of the depth of your pain, and will sustain you through this difficult time. May you find comfort and strength in knowing that soon a time is coming when sickness and death will be no more. (John 11:11, 21-25, 40-44)

Bill Ann & Will our thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time on the passing of your beautiful daughter & sister Mara. Deepest Sympathy to you all. Thinking of you today. May Mara Rest in Peace.

My heart aches for your loss. May you find strength, comfort and peace, in the days ahead, surrounded by family and friends.

I have so many wonderful memories of Mara. I remember her beautiful smile most of all. Mara had a way of sharing her love and kindness with everyone she touched, especially her brother Will. I am honored to have been her pediatrician for several years. God bless Mara and her beautiful family.

We are deeply saddened by the news of Mara's passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you now and in the days ahead. Dick and Sue Kelly and family

My condolences to the entire family. Mara was a kind and compassionate student in my classroom. I will always remember her research project and presentation on how the Civic Arena altered the landscape of the Hill District. My thoughts and prayers are with you. May her memories serve as a source of comfort and inspiration.

Sorry so for your loss. Wishing you much peace. Mrs. Pickett, Pittsburgh CAPA

I thoroughly enjoyed Mara's great sense of humor, her talent, and her kindness to others. It was a privilege to teach her. Know that even when a beautiful light like hers goes out early, we always remember it.

Sending my deepest sympathy to the family during this time may you find comfort from God's word. Luke7: 11-15

Mara was so bright, so eager to learn, and always willing to help other students in class. Her quiet ways belied her quick wit and ability to quickly grasp complex ideas. She seemed to live a very full, joyous life in such a short time. Mara will be missed by many and remembered by all who knew her.

My deepest sympathies to your family at this time. I attended classes at Chatham with Mara and had the pleasure of having literary conversations with her. She was truly a gifted writer and a sweet soul. May she rest easy now.

Ann and Bill: Our hearts and prayers go out to you. We knew Mara before she was born, and we cannot imagine the sadness that you are experiencing. Words fail us, but please know that you and Mara are in our prayers.

I prayed for you every morning. I find peace knowing you won't suffer anymore. I know you entered His rest, His presence. I find comfort in scripture psalm 116:15 and Isaiah 57:1-2. I pray for your family.

Beautiful person with a kindhearted and warm spirit. I'm sorry to hear she was suffering from such a horrific disease. Although saddened by her passing, I would hope that all find solace in her, now, pain-free and eternal rest! Lots of love from CAPA, always and forever, Mara! Rest with God, beautiful.
