Dear Sue's family and friends, my heart is troubled with the thoughts of the loss of your dear Mary. She will be sadly missed by all of us. I knew Mary and Sue for a very long time like over 35 years already and we raised our children almost together in many ways. And even later on "little Trish" ended up babysitting my kids as well. From the laughter, picnics and even making Christmas cookies we all have memories to share and keep in our hearts. Mary always had a special way about her smile that would brighten anyones day, and her laugh made your troubles fly away. Now she will be in the hands of our Lord and look down upon each one of you and smile with the sun, hug you with the warm winds, and touch you with the wings of a butterfly. She won't be forgotten.She fought a great fight over breast cancer and I will continue to carry her on my shoulder as I continue to fight as well. May God bless each of you along your journey.

To all my cousins who lost their wonderful mother. My deepest condolences. I wish that there wasn't such a distance between us that I could have gotten to know your mom more. From what I knew of her she was a great lady. She was so kind to me when mom and I stayed at her house a couple years ago. So sorry for you loss..

Remember

Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.

It can be so hard to face the first year without your loved one, but the love of family and friends can carry you through.

Karen Kingman

March 4, 2011

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.

Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God. believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to perpare a place for you, And if i go and prepare a place for you. I will came again, and receive you unto myself: that where i am. there ye may be also. John 14: 1-3

You were my aunt my co-worker and my friend, when i was a kid i was always quite around you i got to know you a little better when i had that summer job and cleaned the school three blocks from your home. i always like how you had all kinds of meats, when my dad come home from his trip in FLA my mom said come back home dad always like his kids at home close to him. then i became a nurse aide then Marg was to be next but you came next then her, i really got to know the real you aunt Mary you told me many stories of your life how things were you told me happy things and very said times. i still remember you turning your finger to say someone was acting crazy...lol we were potty aides together and ran up and down the hallways. that was the nursing home i always called boot camp you learned hard and i'm glad you come to work there since i hard the time of my life working with you. then i staffed at Spring Hill you made very nice friends who was there intill the end of your time i think i would of added her very kind friends in her obit, because that is the nicest thing in life is a friendship of meeting a life time friend. You will sadly miss in every heart you felt in your life time, i told Trisha your dancing with uncle Rich and i played your song Time in a bottle.. god bless you and all are family. also i'm glad i was there at the end and you joked and i got to see your smile for one last time. bye for now intill we meet again. make sure i get a room close to yours. in the big mansions.
