The Prospect Group Home Family

June 6, 2021

Mary is truly missed by everyone at Prospect. We are lost without her. We miss her smile and how she watched over us all like a Mother Hen. Who will open and close the blinds, empty and load the dishwasher, remind staff to bring a fellow housemates lunch to work, prompt you to put on your seat belt or remember a housemates favorite food for the shopping list? Who will make sure every holiday and birthday is celebrated with the maximum fun and love? Who will remind us of all the things we know are important but sometimes forget? Somehow Mary, we must get by. Somehow we must carry on and keep your example alive in our hearts. Mary had a lot of love to give. She would give it to you whether you wanted it or not, which was usually the time when you needed it the most. Mary, We know that you are up in heaven whipping them into shape and baking cookies for all the angels to reward them for their hard work. We miss you so much but we know you are in good hands. Thank you for being a part of our lives and we will try to remember to do, as you always said, "Be Happy, my Friend!" - from Everyone Prospect
