    Marybe has been a light to me. I am shocked, and feel feelings that surprise me.  I pray for peace for Marybe and her family. For her dear father who she has cared for so lovingly.

    How could things go bad so quickly? I am glad they are easing her pain and also that she was able to state her wishes as far as the ventilator. May all our prayers lift her and Tim up.

    Marybe's life journey and posts are what made me join this forum. Her story has given me so much hope and confidence to fight.

    I hope that she comfortable and knows about all of those she has touched in such a wonderful way.

    Love and many hugs, Marybe.

    Dear Marybe, You are what I have always wanted to aspire to, a true, loyal, kind,and caring friend to everyone. For the short time I knew you here, I immediately was drawn to you because of your positive attitude, kindness, compassion for others and empathy. With each and every post or pm, you showed how much you cared for each and everyone here. You truly gave of yourself asking for nothing in return. You just wanted to help others. Please try to hold on!!!!!! You have changed my life for sure and you will continue to be my role model for courage and bravery. I am blessed and honored to have gotten to know you here. Kathy

    Hi all. I am heading to Cinncinatti tomorrow. I will update you as things transpire. Her good friend Lee called me and said she is not expected to live long but she said she told Marybe she was going to call me and she nodded. My heart is breaking.

    Thanks to Tim and BarbA, 3jays, Ginger - all who've kept us updated on Marybe's progress.

    My heart breaks for all who love Marybe - she has been a light in the darkness for many of us, and her life has been a song of love and courage.  She has taught me so much and I am so sad - I cannot imagine the grief of her family and loved ones and send my best thoughts and prayers.

    Marybe, I am baking in your honor- I hope you can smell it. 

    Thanks for being you - it's an honor to know you.

    Oh no... I saw a post on the Stage IV forum and immediately came here. I love you, Marybe! You were my first friend here and I remember how much your pm meant to me when I was in the hospital for my liver. You offered so much hope as a long term survivor, you have no idea. I hope you know that you are loved and appreciated by more people than you can imagine.



    xoxo

    I only know Marybe from her great posts.  I have always loved reading them.  They are helpful and inspirational and I am saddened to read about her current situation.  She is so lucky to have such great friends on this board, and a wonderful family to be with her right now.  May peace and love surround her and her family.

    Being with everyone in spirit. Marybe is one of the most inspirational women I have ever met.

    Wishing for peace and comfort for her and all of her family. I don't think she does realise just how much she is loved by so many on this board.

    My heart is breaking.

    Marybe is a dear, kind, generous person.  Just a few weeks ago, she offered to put up my kids who were driving cross country.  Her recipes are second to none.  And her positive outlook will be inspirational to me forever. 

    While I still pray for a miracle, I also pray that G-d will take care of this dear wonderful person.

    Barb, please give her our love when you visit.
