"You deserved so much better. This one hurt," one person commented on Mary's last Instagram post. "You left a real life legacy and selfless mission behind that we can only dream to carry on and keep moving forward in your honor... But it doesn't change the fact that your gone way too soon. You saved so many lives, I just wish someone was there to save yours sooner. I hope you get the justice you deserve."
