To the best auntie ever! Our family was military so didn’t get much extended family time. When we did my aunt Marybelle and Uncle Chuck made up for lost time and made us all feel very special! My two cousins Melissa and Jennifer are all that’s left of my family from Ohio so we are sending all our love to them in this time of their lives. Your parents were deeply loved as are you. Cheryl
Dear Mary, I hardly remember a time in my life when I didn’t know you and called you my friend. You and Joyce were always together and I loved you both. Like the words of the song, “it’s so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.” It’s hard to say goodbye to dear friends. Mary is gone from our today, but lives on in our hearts. God bless her as she becomes acquainted with her heavenly home.
Dear Mary,
We shared a bond in life as ‘friendship sisters’ that began in childhood.
It continued with us as we grew and matured together through adulthood.
It traveled with us as we gathered many memories shared in our sisterhood.
It cemented us together as we each enjoyed and thrived in our motherhood.
It lingered with us through our elderhood.
I hope you somehow knew that I was with you until the end.
I believe the heavens brightened when Chuck finally saw your arrival and you could be with him again… clear, and sure, and unafraid… calm and peaceful, with the sparkle back in your eyes, a smile on your face… and probably still in charge!
Though I will miss you deeply, I’ll find peace in the memories and keep you in my heart with love that will last forever.
My arms will always be wrapped around your children and grandchildren as long as I am here.
With love,
Joyce
