My very dear and loving friend Maraibel,



When we first met it was an instant relationship where we felt we had know each other all our lives.

In life this is very rare to have such an instant bond and I feel so lucky to have had you in my life even though it was not long enough. We laughed so much together and felt such a bond together.I will always treasure our time.

My husband Yazin fell in love with you instantly when he first met you to.

You are a very rare and beautiful person and so special.

I just know God needed you more than us he needs your help in heaven God knows you were one of the kindest people on earth.

I know you will be real busy in heaven.

I will see you in heaven one day for sure I hope.

We love you so much but we will see you each day in your beautiful children.



Our love forever Anne & Yazin XXXXXXXXX

The day was June 11 and I walked in the hospital ready to take you home with the help of MD Anderson and Hospice at 11am. I just wanted to tell you I felt so at peace when I saw you and Glady sleeping ,facing the same direction , I put a smile on my face because I too sleep in the same poistion that I found you both in. I looked at your dear sweet face and I knew as I kissed your left hand that I lost you and that God took you home before I could. Glady , Virgina and I cried for about 2hrs over you and I just wanted you to Know you where kissed good bye so many times by your sisters. I miss you dearly and I will see you at our new home one day . Love annabel P.S. Glady why did you call Mari Miss Piggy in her guest book, that was Private until now. love Annabel

Mari was more to me than a cousin but a sister to me. She had this brightness in her soul which came out in everything she did. A smile that would brighten your day and boy did she love to laugh. Even though you might be gone you are still with us cause the tremondous light within her is so strong that her presence is felt and still lives on guiding this family till we meet again. The lord promises us that we will reunite with our loved ones again. Amen for that cause God don't lie. To Mari(An eternal flame that can't be put out) Love Always,Diana

We were known as the bell sisters. Now that one true bell is missing from our note of harmony. You were my defendor and protector even if i was wrong. I will never forget you. I will keep my promise to you to always stand up for what I believe in no matter what the challenge. You will continue to inspire me as well as your daughters and nieces. We will keep your memory alive. My love for you cannot possibly fit into words. I miss you a great deal Mari. I will miss you dearly Miss Piggy.

We were known as the bell sisters. Now that one strong bell is missing from our families presence. Her death was not in vain. Being at your side while you passed was the one true memory that i will not forget ever. You have been my protector and guardian and that will never change. I keep my promise to you to fight and jump whatever obstacle that comes into my presence. Your death is my reality check not to take my life for granted under no circumstance. I grief you each and everyday. I love you Missy Piggy. Forever your little sis, Glady.

Maribel was giving towards others and fun loving. She fought a brave battle for her children. She also wanted peace in the world and to find a cure for cancer. I am empty right now because I am missing my sister and my best friend.I love you Mari and your children love you as well.

The memories she leaves behind are kind ones which will never be forgotten. She was the wind beneath everyones wings. Never a harsh word came from her mouth instead always encouragement and love. She has left an imprint in my heart and soul forever. Your cousin forever.
