Soaking my feet, remembering all my good times and conversations with Mairi. When I travel with my kids having fun, I imagine her spirit there with us, joining in. Because, that's what Mairi was all about- following Joy.
She is probably one of the most precious friends I've ever met. There's no one quite as amazing and pure as she was inside and out. I felt like a better person just having known her. We met in 2002 at work and were friends instantly but lost touch when she went to grad school and got married, and I moved back to MN. She was undoubtedly too good for this world, and I'll never forget her. I'm so sorry to her family and loved ones to no longer have her here, but I'm certain she's always very close.
The day Mairi left this world, her name popped in my head. I feel that was her saying goodbye.
Mairi even as a small child had a great positive energy. She was my first ever friend. It broke my heart when she moved but we kept in touch for a while. She will always have a special place in my heart. She is watching over all of us with a big smile.
However inconvenience, keep consistent with your screenings!
Mairi is the big sister me and my siblings wanted to be. I would sneak in her room to pretend I was her, even chew on her abc gum. I consciously or subconsciously became her. She went to Snow College, I went to Snow. She went to New York on a Mission, I went to NY on a Mission. She went out-of-state for Master's, I went out-of-state to earn my Master's. She moved outside of Utah, I moved outside of Utah. She's a mutant, I'm a mutant. She was the oldest sister, now, physically, I'm the oldest sister. I will do my best to honor you as the sister for our siblings to look up to and you will go with me and Becky on our adventures. I obey: "She would like you all to grieve by going on an adventure. Try a new food, tell spooky stories, drive a different way home, visit a ghost town, book a flight to a nowhere town, or, if you can, go bury your feet in a sandy beach by the ocean. And think of Mairi while you do it."
My heart saddened. Wonderful missionary, witness of Christ, mother and friend. Our condolences to the family.
Mairi and I were companions in New York, and she was so much fun, so full of life. She would often do things like take a sudden detour into a park so she could jump on the swings. We were caught in a total downpour out of nowhere once on the streets in Queens and she laughed, thinking it the greatest adventure even when we got drenched! I am certain she is smiling and laughing at all the new adventures she is having now

I had the honor of being a Young Woman advisor when Mairi was a beautiful young woman in our ward. She never allowed anyone to sit or be alone, She was always the person who helped others feel welcomed. Years later when I had cancer, she stopped by just to tell me how she love me.
Mairi was an example of goodness for many of us.
Mari and I worked together at Baker house. From the first moment I met her, I knew she was someone special. Her light will be missed in this world
Mairi was one of my roommates at Snow college. I remember watching a Disney movie with her. We had to watch until we saw the castle at the end. She was definitely a fun loving person. I am glad I got to know her. I have lots of fun memories of her. She will be missed.
