Mary won her fight with breast cancer but sadly leukemia took her life when she was only 52 years old. Mary was a kind woman and full of life, no one has a bad story to tell of her. She will forever be missed. She has two daughters Michelle and Stephanie who she taught the virtue and value of prayer. Michelle battled cancer the same time her mother did. The only reason she won was because of a "mother's prayers" and her wish for her mother not to have to bury a child . I am sure mama did a dance in heaven when Stephanie got married, for as we all know mom hand picked David for steph :) He had all the qualities mom wanted her baby girl to find in a husband. She was the proud Nana of three beautiful children. The oldest Joey, the son she never had and the grandson she thought for sure could to no wrong. He was all she ever wished for in a grandchild and he still speaks of her fondly and cries because he misses her. Courtney was her princess, beautiful and sassy, the first granddaughter and there was no child more beautiful in Nana's eyes. Then Makayla came, she was the baby. She was a blonde haired blue eyed smaller version of Stephanie. This made her life complete. Mary lived for ther two daughters and the three grandchildren and fought a noble fight. She is sitting in heaven with her sister Sarah and brothers Jim and David holding the ones she holds dear a spot next her mansion. I love you Mama and miss you daily.
Please go give your mother a kiss if you are still blessed to have her. Do not take her for granted for one day you will be in my sister and my shoes and it is a tough place to be. Love/Live/Laugh

Letter From Heaven
When tomorrow starts without me,
and I'm not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes,
all filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn't cry,
the way you did today,
while thinking of the many things,
we didn't get to say.

I know how much you love me,
as much as I love you,
and each time that you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too;
But when tomorrow starts without me,
please try to understand,
that an Angel came and called my name,
and took me by the hand,
and said my place was ready,
in heaven far above,
and that I'd have to leave behind,
all those I dearly love.

But as I turned to walk away,
a tear fell from my eye,
for all life, I'd always thought,
I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for,
so much yet to do,
it seemed almost impossible,
that I was leaving you.

I thought of all the yesterdays,
the good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared,
and all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday,
just even for awhile,
I'd say goodbye and kiss you
and maybe see you smile.

But then I fully realized,
that this could never be,
for emptiness and memories,
would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things,
I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did,
my heart was filled with sorrow.

But when I walked through heaven's gates,
I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me,
from His great golden throne,

He said, "This is eternity,
and all I've promised you".
Today for life on earth is past,
but here it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow,
but today will always last,
and since each day's the same day,
there's no longing for the past.

But you have been so faithful,
so trusting and so true.
Though there were times you did some things,
you knew you shouldn't do.
But you have been forgiven
and now at last you're free.
So won't you take my hand
and share my life with me?

So when tomorrow starts without me,
don't think we're far apart,
for every time you think of me,
I'm right here, in your heart.

Love Mary xxxx
