Cindi, who is one of the co founders of MADD (Mother's Against Drunk Driving), has offered her continuous and very generous support to Mary's Voice. We are grateful for her guidance. Here, Cindi gives a victim impact statement about what happened to her and her precious daughter. 

Thank you  Cindi 

Artist Spencer Lanning was so moved by Mary,  she gifted Mary's Voice with this beautiful mural. The mural is based on a self portrait that Mary did. Mary had a love of photography and was very talented. But she rarely shared her work. Hearing this, Spencer set about looking for a wall in the NoDa area where Mary was murdered. To paint a wall of Mary's portrait. Ultimately, creating this beautiful mobile mural that we will be moving around the city of Charlotte in order to share Mary's story. We are beyond grateful for this beautiful gift. 

* It currently sits on the lawn of the Johnston YMCA. Who have graciously allowed us to display it for the month of July. Mary's birthday month and disability pride month as well.

Thank you  Spencer 

Liz Logan, freelance writer and author of the articles published by Queen City Nerve. Liz has spent countless hours meticulously and lovingly towards Mary, writing and rewriting for Mary's Voice. We are so grateful for her generosity, her kindness, and her deep compassion and concern for what has happened to Mary.

Thank you  Liz 

Lora is not only a photographer but she was a mentor to Mary. Mary is very fond of Lora. We can't say enough about her talented work and compassion for Mary. She also has written impassioned descriptions of some of what the family has been through for which we are deeply grateful. Below is a link to her information. Photography with soul is what she does:

President of the NoDa Neighborhood and Business Association, Jacob has been nothing but compassionate. He has generously spent his time helping us secure a location for our candlelight vigil held April 4th 2021.  1 year since they took Mary's body out of the apartment. We held our vigil at a park in NoDa. Significantly named after a young man who also had a cleft like Mary. He tragically died prior to Mary being murdered. The park was then renamed for him: The Davis Flohr neighborhood park. Jacob explained to us how special Davis is. It seemed very appropriate to hold the vigil there. In addition Jacob has been extremely helpful  working with the Johnston YMCA for the installation of Mary's mural on their lawn for the month of July. Jacob has been genuinely compassionate towards the family and towards Mary. He has assured us that the entire neighborhood feels the same. We are grateful for his kindness. Here is a link to learn more about Davis:

Thank you Jacob 

Clydia in the midst of her own grief, reached out to Mary's family and friends to offer support. She is a kind-hearted and loving person. She's also a fierce mother seeking justice for her own child. Clydia collaborates with us on issues surrounding Justice for our loved ones. Look for her and for us in the legislative halls of the state and in Washington DC. For Qway and for Mary.

Thank you Clydia

We would like to thank the gentlemen at PC paramedic. They have shown great compassion and patience with Mary's Voice. They've been both professional and understanding. We've worked with two gentlemen there on some very delicate situations involving Mary. They were both extremely kind, professional and skilled at what they do. They stand behind their work. 

This is Chris. He's an all-around great guy. And technologically skilled. For those of us who are not he's willing to help. PC Paramedic has been supportive of Mary and Mary's Voice. If you have a problem with your cell phone or your laptops, computers... We highly recommend these people. 

Thank you
