Mary V. LaRoche-Cullotta

Dear Paul,
I am so saddened to hear of Mary's passing...it's been such a long time since we spoke, but the memories of her and our times together will always be close.

Paul, David and I are so very saddened to hear about Mary's passing. She was such a wonderful, warm person and great mom, and we had great memories of you all at Fairhaven Lane. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Cameron, and family.

Paul
Dick and I were so very saddened to learn of Mary's death and want to extend our deepest sympathy to you and Cameron.

Mary I was floored when I heard the news the other day. You were always so nice to me and I will never forget the special words you told me the last time I saw you. This disease sucks, and I want you to know that your not alone and many many people care about you. I'm at a loss for words.. You were a wonderful spirit in God's field. I miss you and you will never be forgotten. I will pray for your family and loved one's. Cougar!!!!!!! 1 4 3

Dear Paul:
I was shocked and saddened to read about the loss of Mary. I have many good memories from Fairhaven Lane which I will always treasure. I will be remembering you and Cameron in my prayers.

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.
