She was honestly and truly one of a kind. A person could never ask for a better friend.....who quickly became family. Her heart was as big as her personality. She is missed daily...and always will. I'm sure shes flying higher than any angel.

Aunt Marie wasn't just an aunt, she was more like my mom in a way. Many long night conversations, tears, and laughing. Even though we where states apart, we where close. She always called me her baby girl with a big smile. I will miss u more then I will ever b able to explain. I feel empty without u. I love you ??

God saw you getting tired, When a cure was not to be.

So He wrapped his arms around you,
and whispered, "come to me."

You put up one hell of a fight and you earned your Angel wings. One day we will meet again my friend.

May all of you find comfort in the memories you hold so dearly.

RIP Marsie. Forever in our hearts.

heart breaking to be so young and to have such a large family, I'm certain there are many hearts broken. I will lift you all up in prayer and ask that God give you peace. very sad... the pain of a heart that is broken, actually aches, I know from experience. ( I am a FB friend of Betsy's). May she RIP, God bless you all.

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it's the memories of you that are the most precious.
