    OMG I've been away all day. I am so sad to read this. I am one of the lucky ones that have actually met Marybe (on a couple of occasions). Please let Marybe be pain free. Tim and the rest of her family my heart goes out to your all.

    I too wish for that miracle.

    Prayers for Marybe and her family.  What an inspiration to me and so many others on these boards.  She's one classy lady and a true fighter.

    I pray that her journey is pain free.  

    Thank you to Marybe's family for sharing such a precious lady with us all.

    I came to this thread from Stage IV and wish to send prayers to Marybe and her family at this time. She is quite the advocate, giving me lots of helpful info when I asked questions. Thank you Maryby for being so gracious.

    I am so saddened to read this news. Marybe was one of the first people who answered one of my first anxious, worried posts. I am sending strength and love to her family during this difficult time. Thanks to everyone updating and keeping us posted.

    I'm so sad. Peace Marybe and all who love her. Thanks for everything. This just isn't right. I'm mad for some reason. Thanks for the updates. Be safe and tell Marybe how much we all love her. Praying for peace and comfort. Sorry you didn't get to go on that trip Marybe.

    I heard about Marybe from a phone message from BarbA that said she was flying out to be with Marybe.  My heart just broke to pieces.  She is an amazing lady and a wonderful friend.  I was one of the lucky ones that got to meet, visit and share life with her.  I have always prayed for her and will continue to do so as my faith is what holds me together and Marybe was one of the few to get that.  I will miss her greatly as I have love her very much.  I also pray for Tim who loved her more than she realized until recently.

    Thank you Barb for going to her.  Please be safe and tell her I would be there if there was any way possible.  You be safe and keep your spirits up as much as possible.  I love you too.

    Prayer and hugs for all of us, each and every one.

    Mrs. Barb please have a safe journey. Prayers for you to be safe and be at peace if that is even possible. My heart breaks for you, Mrs Marybe, and her family and all of the ladies on here who were so close. Im balling my eyes out and only wish I had something comforting to say. But I dont. I just added this thread last night. Im so very sorry. Please tell her she touched so many more ladies than she ever knew. I will be my own advocate because of what was in her signature line. I think of her wisdom often. Prayers and hugs.

    Marybe, our pillar.  The one who has shown us there can be long term survival with Stage IV.  This is so wrong!!

    I keep popping on and off all night checking for an update. One more thought before I go to bed; Marybe has lived in the present and made plans for the future all the way through. What a tremedous testimony to her spirit and an example to us all. Good night, dear sisters.

    Marybe is a dear soul and a fellow resident of Ohio and Cincinnati.  She arranged a wonderful luncheon for some local cancer patients and we all had a good time of it.   She was the brightest light at the table--so full of knowledge & hope!

    I am very sad to hear that she's slipped into a coma.  I still believe in miracles and will pray for her and her family.

    This is so awful and confusing. The treatment was working so well on her cancer. This all came on so quickly.

    I don't know if I can find words to express what I feel. Marybe is such a good friend to me, as she is to so many here. She has shown us how to truly live our lives while dealing with this illness.

    My love to her, to Tim, to her father, and all who hold her dear.
