I will deeply miss my good friend Mary, we always had such good times together. She was a great friend. We had fun in Florida together. We celebrated our birthdays together in November for a lot of years. I love her and will miss her she was an angel and now she is with them in heaven.
God Bless her family , Gerrie
Mary-
You were such an inspiration here on earth in the courage you displayed while fighting this horrible illness. You never gave up! You will be deeply missed but it is comforting to know that you will be looking over all of us and providing us with guidance and love as we continue on in our journey on earth waiting to see you again someday.
Jim-
You should be very proud of the exceptional job you did taking care of Mary all these months. Those of us that have lost loved ones to cancer know how difficult it was for you. There is no doubt that you will miss Mary deeply over the next days,months and years. But your loneliness now does not mean that you are alone. A blessing came out of Mary’s illness – and that is that it showed you how many people care about you and will make sure that you are never alone.
God bless you both!
