Mary Anne Radmacher is famous for sayings that carry us. Her famous poster that begins “live with intention” and ends with “live as if this is all there is” was written for a dying friend. This past year, Mary Anne was invited to collaborate on Getting Up, a book to help people facing illness. Two months later, Mary Anne became one of those people when she got the call that her brother was dying of a brain tumor. Mary Anne’s gentle wisdom will help us all become friends with the one thing we all have in common—death.
