The Mara Slideshow by David Mees

This slideshow was compiled by David Mees and shown at Mara's 40th Birthday FUN, Fundraiser at the Avalon Theater on March 29, 2009. David Mees gave a touching introduction explaining that the pictures were taken on his travels with Mara and a few on her last stay in New York. He mentioned there was some nudity in it but that he and Mara's family and friends felt that it was something that Mara would have approved of as it was included to show others that she still felt and looked beautiful even with a double mastectomy.

Thank you, David, for this slide-show which I did enjoy so much, as it shows Mara's wide interest in the world around her and her lovely smile.
Love,Ems

That was simply breath-taking David, thank you. It was the many faces of Mara, with perfect music and that last shot of her swimming and held up by the silvery water, a photo I will always remember from the blog and that fall. Happy birthday Mara! Think of you every day.....

Mara.
Joyful, pensive, questioning, calm.
Loving. Strong. Honest.
Beautiful inside and out.

She is alive in the world!
She is alive in all of us!

It's Mara
