Mara was diagnosed with DIPG on October 2007.  She fought bravely for 11 months touching many people around her until she returned to her heavenly home in September 2008.  Mara has an older brother, Max and two younger sisters, Natalie and Katrina, who all miss her very much.  She loved to color and draw, dance and play with her friends.
