This poem was written Oct. 7, 2007, by Carla Washington, Mary's prison mate at Bedford Hills -- 5 days before Mary was to be released from custody.

A Special Bond I'll miss you more than you will know, Your voice and your bright smile. And though we must be separated, It's measured in mere miles ... For our spirits formed a Special Bond, I felt it from the day we met, And time has helped it grow. No one on Earth could take your place; You've come to mean that much. We've shared our hearts and Jesus' love, Through you I've felt His touch. From now until the end - I know for certain we'll remain The very best of friends.
