Yes, it was from cancer. She got lung cancer back in 2011... never smoked! And right before she died, it was brain tumors. Poor girl. I miss her so much. Everytime I see a really bad kate spade, I think, "Man, I need to show this to Mary!" But... she's not here... I took her death really hard, even though we'd never even met in person... She was an amazing person...
I miss her too!
