Sweet Mary Margaret

Mary Margaret Malloy
MALLOY, MARY MARGARET Mary Margaret Malloy, 20 years of age, attended Highland Park High School where she had a deep passion for academic challenges. She served as an editor of the high school newspaper, she enjoyed dancing as a Belle, and she was an enthusiastic and caring mentor who spent many hours with her Best Buddy. She took great pride in matriculating at the University of Texas in 2005 but in spite of many successes she soon returned home because of a deeply painful personal struggle. Throughout her life she preferred to be known as "Mary Margaret," perhaps a hint of the gracious, generous and somewhat reserved person we knew. She always laughed at little jokes and she loved music of all kinds. Near the end of her life she reflected on her family whom she loved dearly, her faith, and the many friends she cherished, kind and supportive friends that had been with her throughout her illness. We have lost, tragically, an intelligent, beautiful, intense and very sensitive child. She is survived by two grandmothers, Frances and Dorothy, her mother, Debbie, her father, Craig, loving brothers William and George, and many aunts, uncles and cousins in Texas and California. Memorial Services will be held at 4:00 p.m., Friday, January 18, 2008, at Park Cities Presbyterian Church, Rev. Mark Davis officiating.

This is an obituary today from one of Chaney's best friends (my little sister) who died the other day after a 10 year battle with anorexia. Please pray for her family and that the Lord would show His face mightily in all of this. She's a believer and she is home with the Lord after a long battle.
