To the Family of Mary Whipple,
God had a plan on the night he called you in, to sit beside your beloved sister, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother. He wanted to give you a chance to say "I Love You and You meant the world to me".
I know Mary will be missed, not only as an Auxiliary member but as a person. She brought happiness even in her darkest days.
May God Bless Your Family and keep a upper lip as I'm sure Mary will be doing while watching over you.

I delivered Mary's KC Star for the past 565 days. She was one of the few people I routinely spoke to, both by phone and email, and even as recently as last month, she left a baked bread for me as a belated Christmas present. She was a very nice lady and I will always think of her as I continue to drive past her house every morning.

What a beautiful lady Mary was. So full of life and always seemed to have a smile on her face. Mary helped fill a huge void in my life with the LAVFW when my own grandmother passed away. I could look out in to the sea of Auxiliary sisters and see her smiling face and it was like having my own grandmother there supporting me during the district meetings.
Thanks for that, Mary. I will be forever grateful and will miss you terribly.

MARY WILL BE MISSED

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.

Mary was the most dedicated member of the Ladies Auxiliary to the Veterans of Foreign Wars that I ever knew. She served selflessly and constantly encouraged others to serve as well. She was a grand and gracious lady and will be deeply missed.
