Mary & I talked about many life topics during her cherished days in July 2017. We both love music and sang many times together and wanted to do a Karaoke sometime. This song was one I played while she slept. Three months ago you gave me the greatest honor to be with you as you transitioned from this world. Thank you for sending me the message that you had made it safely.

A Life of Celebration and Legacy
Mary’s final words were to me and the world, I love you…thank you! She lived her life with the biggest smile. I am setting up the Mary Boleyn Foundation to honor Mary and provide comfort to CF patients facing end-of-life. We will be having a celebration of Mary’s life on Aug 12th at the old Holiday Inn on Holiday Inn Drive in Cambridge, now called Sunbridge Hotel and Conference Centre. This will be from 11 AM – 1-PM and will be aired on Facebook live. I will post more details this week. Attached is the cover page for the Mary Boleyn Foundation. Please join us and wear something pink. Donations will be welcome at the Foundation this week – details to follow.
Tribute to Mary Boleyn by Karen McCulloch
No words I write will do justice to the admiration I have for a young woman, Mary Boleyn, who met both life and death head on. Faced with incredible challenges, including cystic fibrosis, Mary was a role model in making unimaginably tough decisions bravely, finding the positive in the little everyday things to appreciate, sharing herself openly and rawly, and radiating love … always radiating love and gratitude.
There is no love greater than the love Mary felt for her young child. My wish is that Clara will derive strength from knowing that love and support in her heart always.
I’m grateful to Mary for the lasting image of pink glitter cremated ashes that she shared recently on Facebook. She wrote, “You know how hard it is to get rid of glitter…. I will haunt you forever!!!!” Glitter will forever remind me of Mary. She will haunt me, in a positive way. She will make me smile, and with gratitude, for the small delights in life.
To her Mom Heather, and her Dad James, as a parent, my heart breaks for you. My own adult kids are close to Mary’s age. The passing of your beautiful daughter has hit many of us hard, particularly in the CF community — a testament to the meaningful impact Mary made on the lives of many.
