guery Bogue“The world got smaller, my heart got bigger” “I wouldn’t say I have cancer-I would say cancer has me.” MARY BOGUE is sort of a new old friend of mine. She is a fabulous performer and I have been one table away from her in the LA jazz scene for years.

Not until now have I had the opportunity to sit and really become dear friends. Mary is as brilliant as the Aurora Borealis in the skies-- while at the same time a sassy gal who wore red high heels and a red dress ( and hat.. of course) while getting chemo. She wanted to give that chemo some hell—and she did! Mary is a woman always looking for the humor even under the guise of cancer ( as she watched I Love Lucy at 2 am). It was her healing medicine.
