There are no words to ease the sadness your family is feeling. Mary 's spirit and love continues to live within her children and grandchildren. Everytime they smile or their eyes twinkle, she is there. Mary will never be forgotten, but remembered for her energy,determination and the love she had for her family. She always had kind words to say to me and my father through the years. Rest in peace with God and your family in heaven.

My lovely Marybelle:
You loved and touched so many people on the daily, and gave literally your entire heart with everything you had to support your beautiful family. I will miss our Gemini talks which kept me truly entertained with your directness and your neverending energy. You completed a lifetime of accomplishments, and you always thought of the future. Never dwelling on the past. I love you.
Safely Home
I am home in Heaven, dear ones;
Oh, so happy and so bright!
There is perfect joy and beauty
In this everlasting light.
All the pain and grief is over,
Every restless tossing passed;
I am now at peace forever,
Safely home in Heaven at last.
Did you wonder I so calmly
Trod the valley of the shade?
Oh! but Jesus' arm to lean on,
Could I have one doubt or dread?
Then you must not grieve so sorely,
For I love you dearly still;
Try to look beyond earth's shadows,
Pray to trust our Father's Will.
There is work still waiting for you,
So you must not idly stand;
Do it now, while life remaineth--
You shall rest in Jesus' land.
When that work is all completed,
He will gently call you Home;
Oh, the rapture of that meeting,
Oh, the joy to see you come!
