    Wow - she was such a gifted soul! So kind to others.



    This has been so sudden for everyone.

    We know she felt the love and support of the BCO community through her journey, and especially these last days.  We are glad Barbara was able to be there at the end.  She enriched and touched so many lives and our thoughts and love go out to all her friends and family.

    ((((The entire BCO team))))

    Prayers and love to Marybe and her family.

    I will think of you every Christmas when I hang the ornament you made.

    I am at a loss. We have truly lost a true friend. May she rest in peace.

    Strength to Daddy and Tim as they deal with what her loss means to them.

    I have no words. Well, I have them, but they are not polite. $%(*#^(@ Just not fair, in the least.

    Marybe lived a life that mattered. We should all live our lives like she did. We all matter.

    Such a sad day, but just knowing her here was an honor and a blessing. Thoughts and prayers for her family and many, many friends. Also, a big thank you to Barbara for being there.

    I am just without words to express what this means. We shall miss you so, so, much Marybe.

    You were a fantastic example to us all I have never know anyone so selfless as you, so giving and helpful to one and all as you were.

    Things won't be the same again without your long informative posts.

    I wish peace for your family. I will never forget you.

    Isabella.

    I am so sorry.  Marybe was a very special person who showed us how to live with kindness and joy.

    My condolences to her loved ones.

    My most sincere condolences to Marybe's husband, father, family and loved ones.  She was a blessing among us, and she always reminded me that giants come in many guises. 

    She touched so many people through her shining-pure goodness.

    About an hour ago, I thought of Marybe (she's been there constantly these past few days as I stood vigil with the others) and I saw her and her loving smile - as though that was the last of her to leave, and I know she's at peace and wishes only Peace and Comfort to those left behind.  

    Blessings to you BarbA - you are a true friend.  3jays, thankyou too, and I know you would have gone too if at all possible.  (((( All who loved Marybe  )))))

    Marybe. Let it be. Your smile and compassion will be sorely missed here.

    Barb, thanks for being there, but where else would you be...

    I'm so sad.

    cam, you said exactly what I felt ... I've been lurking in this room for the last 3 days, hoping against hope; while deep inside knowing it was probably time. Even so, reading those words of finality hit like a sledgehammer. I'm so glad I'm home from work today so I can hang out here with my bco buddies. This is where I need to be.

    Adey just let me know. I'm so sad. I was really looking forward to her returning this February

    My sympathies to her family.

    Here's a few photos from when she was here in Chicago.
