My heart goes out to Brenda, Herb & family as well as Sean... I am so deeply sorry for the loss you all are going through. Mary & I were a lot closer when we were younger & tended to drift apart as we grew up & started our lives. She had a smile that could be seen for miles & She had a huge heart & a wonderful sense of humor... & I am truly sorry we didn't stay in touch... Again I'm so sorry for your loss...

We are so sorry for your loss. Mary was a kind, fun spirited and loving person who always made us feel like we knew her forever. We hope that you all find peace in this most difficult time by sharing all of Mary's wonderful memories and knowing she is with loved ones.

There isn't a way to put into words how much you are loved and missed. You were a beautiful person, inside and out. I will forever treasure all of our childhood memories, and am forever greatfull we kept a relationship as adults. You were more than a cousin to me, you were a best friend. Our lives might have gotten hectic at times, but we were always to pick right up where we left off. I'm forever thankful that you met Sean, and the love you two shared. Not everyone has the opportunity to experience that. I love you Mar, and I will forever keep you alive through memories.

To my cousin Mary,

Tomorrow is never promised, but yesterday will always live on in the memories of those who knew and loved you.

I remember sitting around the table at your mother's house up in New Jersey or Nan's table down in South Carolina, trying my best to win whatever game we were playing. You were a fierce competitor and a worth adversary no matter the game.

I remember living with your parents, you, and your siblings for a few months. I felt like a kid without a home during this time of my life but you never made me feel that way. Your entire family made me feel welcomed which was greatly needed to a child angry at the world. That short time helped mold me into the man I am today and I thank you.

I remember calling Nan just about every Sunday and, without fail, she would talk about my cousin Mary. It was during a difficult time in your life but Nan was so proud of every obstacle you overcame. I remember actually being jealous of you as that is how often she would talk about you. Yes, I wanted to be the favorite even though we all know Nan does not have favorites or she hid it very well. Even among my juvenile jealously, I was proud of you. You are my cousin so it's only natural for you to be as great as me!

I remember seeing you for that short time at the Outer Banks. I remember when it was all over I kept telling myself I need to take a trip up to New Jersey. That trip always became later, and later. I have waited too late.

My only regret is not knowing you as well as an adult as I did when we were children. Long distances tend to do that. When I punch my final clock, we can remedy that.

Forever in my thoughts,

John

Rescuer's Rainbow Bridge

Unlike most days at Rainbow Bridge, this day dawned cold and gray, damp as a swamp and as dismal as could be imagined. All of the recent arrivals had no idea what to think, as they had never experienced a day like this before. But the animals who had been waiting for their beloved people knew exactly what was going on and started to gather at the pathway leading to The Bridge to watch

It wasn't long before an elderly animal came into view, head hung low and tail dragging. The other animals, the ones who had been there for a while, knew what his story was right away, for they had seen this happen far too often.

He approached slowly, obviously in great emotional pain, but with no sign of injury or illness. Unlike all of the other animals waiting at The Bridge, this animal had not been restored to youth and made healthy and vigorous again. As he walked toward The Bridge, he watched all of the other animals watching him. He knew he was out of place here and the sooner he could cross over, the happier he would be. But, alas, as he approached The Bridge, his way was barred by the appearance of an Angel who apologized, but told him that he would not be able to pass. Only those animals who were with their people could pass over Rainbow Bridge.

With no place else to turn to, the elderly animal turned towards the fields before The Bridge and saw a group of other animals like himself, also elderly and infirm. They weren't playing, but rather simply lying on the green grass, forlornly staring out at the pathway leading to The Bridge. And so, he took his place among them, watching the pathway and waiting.

One of the newest arrivals at The Bridge didn't understand what he had just witnessed and asked one of the animals that had been there for awhile to explain it to him.

"You see, that poor animal was a rescue. He was turned in to rescue just as you see him now, an older animal with his fur graying and his eyes clouding. He never made it out of rescue and passed on with only the love of his rescuer to comfort him as he left his earthly existence. Because he had no family to give his love to, he has no one to escort him across The Bridge."

The first animal thought about this for a minute and then asked, "So what will happen now?" As he was about to receive his answer, the clouds suddenly parted and the gloom lifted. Approaching The Bridge could be seen a single person and among the older animals, a whole group was suddenly bathed in a golden light and they were all young and healthy again, just as they were in the prime of life.

"Watch, and see.", said the second animal. A second group of animals from those waiting came to the pathway and bowed low as the person neared. At each bowed head, the person offered a pat on the head or a scratch behind the ears. The newly restored animals fell into line and followed him towards The Bridge. They all crossed The Bridge together.

"What happened?"

"That was a rescuer. The animals you saw bowing in respect were those who found new homes because of her work. They will cross when their new families arrive. Those you saw restored were those who never found homes. When a rescuer arrives, they are allowed to perform one, final act of rescue. They are allowed to escort those poor animals that they couldn't place on earth across The Rainbow Bridge."

"I think I like rescuers", said the first animal.

"So does GOD", was the reply.

Love you Mary. R.I.P.
