Memories and Condolences

God looked around his garden and found an empty place.
He then looked down upon his earth and saw your loving face.
He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest.
His garden must be beautiful, he always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering, he knew you were in pain.
And he knew that you would never be well on earth again.
He saw your path was difficult, and he closed your tired eyes.
He wispered to you "Peace be Thine"
and he gave you wings to fly.
When we saw you sleeping so calm and free of pain, we would not wish you back to earth to suffer once again.
You've left us precious memories, your love will be our guide.
You live on through your children, your always by our side.
It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you on the day God called you home.
Forever in my heart-
Jennybug

Our Dearest Compi:
John, Myself & our children want to express our deepest sympathy to you and your family, Stevie. We loved Mary Kimsey, as Johnny Boy would call her. She is one of the most courageous person we have ever known. She took her illness with a grain of salt. She was one tough cookie.
Compi, we want you to know that we are here for you and your family, day or night.
We love you,
John & Kathy Bonacorso and Family

Mary and I were friends since we were 5 years old. We became especially close during our teen years and had lots of good times. She was the most courageous person I ever knew. She suffered horribly most of her adult life, and had more health problems than any one person should ever have to endure. But, she could always find something to laugh about. In fact, being the ornery person that she was, she often created something to laugh about! She never felt sorry for herself and didn't want anybody else to, either. Many years ago, she told me "I don't want your sympathy. I want your friendship. And if I can't have that, the hell with you." (Anyone who knew Mary knows she was always outspoken and to the point.) She not only had my friendship, but my undying admiration. I would like to think that I could be one-tenth as brave as she was, but it's highly doubtful. I loved her and will miss her greatly.
I just want to add that Steve was the best husband she ever possibly could have had. He was her rock and her strength, and the one who TRIED to keep her in line. She never could figure out how to park that car so he wouldn't know she had gone out, when she was supposed to be at home taking care of herself! And she delighted in telling me how she lied to him, knowing full well he was on to her.
