| Mary McCann at work. |
And away went my sister after a two year struggle with Multiple Myeloma. I like to think of death by cancer along the lines of the late comedian Norm MacDonald. He felt saying someone "lost their battle with cancer" was branding the deceased a loser. Norm stated that when the body died, so did the cancer. Hence, the final accounting was more along the lines of a tie.
Mary McCann tied cancer, packing more life into her years than many. As the Bone Mama, she was the voice of Phoenix radio in the 80s and 90s and ended her years behind the mike playing jazz out of Tacoma, Washington on KNKX.
God rest your soul and may perpetual line shine upon you, my dearest Mary.
Here is a link to her memorial page.
