    Just found out about this. Mari was one in a million and as I’m sure so many have said, I am lucky to have known her. There was no one cooler than Mari. The Fonz would have looked up to her! Much love to you Lindsay as you miss your fabulous mom, and to all those that cared for her you are in my thoughts.

    Today is one month since you left and I miss you so much. Since you moved back home when things was looking very bleak, you and I were a lot alike ( late night cleaning, late night trying the air fryer and having a feast ) we were truly “night owls”. You are free of the 4 yr. & 4 month battle with CANCER that you fought with dignity and Grace. Love from your Mama ! ❤️

    I love and miss this girl so much. She worked for me twice. Once at the Hula Hut and again in my own restaurant when she wasn’t able to physically do a regular job after going through treatment. She was a fighter! I was lucky enough to spend some time with her away from work and we went to see the Cult at Austin Music Hall and the Stones in Zilker Park. Proud to have been her friend.

    Oh Mari. The world just isn’t as bright and sparkly without you. I have clients calling me daily to ask about you. You really made an impact… on the dance scene and our business. You are deeply missed. </3
