My heartfelt sympathies are with you all, she was a beautiful and sweet child and will be missed by so many people as she wound her way into many hearts. I cannot even begin to image the pain you are suffering but at least you know she will always be with you in your hearts. All our love as always.

Annette, I was reading the obituaries and came across your dear little Maryn's, realizing that you and your family are related to me by a former marriage. I have felt such sadness ever since. Wishing you and your family love and prayers and hope that you will have the strength and courage to get you through the days and months to come. I have recently read your blog. I so admire your courage and you are such an inspiration to all for sharing your story. God bless you and your family.

Annette-I am so sorry for your loss, but am so happy that Maryn is feeling no more pain. I cannot imagine the loss of a child but know that you, Olivia, and Moriah will be reunited with Maryn one day. Thank you for introducing her to Jesus as her Lord & Savior. He now has His arm around her and providing her with unending protection.
Blessings,

Dearest Annette and family,
To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and you loved ones Annette, may god surround your heart with love, peace and happiness through this time of sorrow.

An absolutley beautiful child. She takes my breath away. Perhaps too perfect for this world. I don't know you but I can tell from Maryn's obituary that you are heartbroken and grieving. Just know that stranger has you in her prayers. May you rest in peace Maryn. You earned it.

You have no idea how many people you may have inspired to be more loving and compassionate. Yes, you will hold Maryn again!

I work with David Flores and have now for a few years, and I have to say I have never seen a family that is so close to each other as you all are. And in this time of pain and sorrow is when you need your family to be so close to you. I just lost my mother about 2 months ago, so I can truly understand what you are all going through. But my thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief and may your memories bring you comfort. She was a beautiful little girl, but she will be pain free and will be that beautiful little angel in Heaven.

Annette,
You are an amazing mother. You need to take pride in all that you did to make Maryn live her life every day to the fullest. You were the most devoted a mother could be, especially during such a difficult time and being a single mother. You are truly amazing. Maryn will be reunited with you again and until then she will watch over you closely every day. You will feel her when the wind blows and when you see the buterflies going by, that is her watching over you.
You take care of yourself. Maryn wants to see you all smile as she plays in heaven with all the children, gracefully.
Maryn is now your "Concrete Angel" a song written by Martina McBride.
God Bless,

The way that Maryn came into my life, I feel was miraculous. Through the process of getting to know her, I realized that Maryn was a catalyst. Not only for myself but for everyone that she came in contact with. In having the opportunity to share this dance with Maryn. Her light illuminated within me humility, strength, passion, courage, compassion, trust, faith, grace and unconditional love.
May you fly with the angels
I love you so much,
James

I do not know you, or your beautiful little girl, but my heart and love goes out to you. My baby ( 2 days from being 8 months old) went to be with Jesus and Heavenly Father. Mike was born with a rare blood disease, he could not make his own blood. This was is 1973, it still hurts, but the pain still eases with time. Just know that she is doing everything that she couldn't do here, and she is watching over you with all her love. Donna (Magna)
