    ahhh - Mary, we love you. My heart goes out to you and your family.

    Ducky, happy birthday a week or two late.  Gorgeous great grand baby.

    Di, tell me more about your insurance. Like you, my insurance currently covers massage and acupuncture. I'll be going on medicare next year. Secondary insurance won't cover those anymore?

    GMA, I'm so glad you are trying acupuncture!  I stopped for awhile but am going to start back up again as my back is very unhappy with me.  I surely hope it helps as constant pain is just horrible.

    Hi , I took a proactive approach RE: Mary and Pm'd Rachel's phone number to some folks. Those that received the PM, can let the rest of you know by PM.  Mary chose me as a "buddy contact" from  the old list days. I'm sure there are a few that don't understand the awesome responsibility that entails, and feel I'm an interloper. Well, get over it. This isn't about you. This isn't about me. Our dear friend is passing. Rachel has clearly expressed a wish to talk to her MOM's friends.  Time is short. I posted this on Mary's thread a couple of hours ago.

    -------------------------

    Hi, I've talked again with Rachel. I hope I can remember everything she wanted me to post. I'll do it by numbers to try and be sure I cover them all. Dislike that approach, but think it will help not to miss anything.

    1. Please, call on Rachel's cell phone, Pm me for it. Another option is, I'll try and PM it to someone else, if that makes it easier. If someone wants to volunteer, PM and I will give it to you, and then we can post who has it.

    2. Rachel DOES want you to call, she doesn't feel it's an invasion of family privacy during this time. She said that all of you were so important to her mom that she does want to hear from you. That your calls are important to her, but are a problem coming in on Mary's phone. She wants everyone to know that all the support that you gave her MOM was so important when her MOM didn't want to talk to the family about things. Rachel wants you to know she is so thankful that her MOM had all of you because of this.

    3. Jordan was able to see Mary when she was awake and able to tell him how much she loved him. Rachel has chosen to make this the way Jordan will remember his Grammi. Frank DH is doing okay, and they are all having their moments. When Mary went into the restful sleep, they all shared stories of her life with them , around the bedside. They are continuing this :)

    4. Mary had a very agitated day yesterday, but has been in a very restful and peaceful sleep since about 4 am today (Sat 5/3 2014).

    5. Rachel said that the hospice nurses have described all these events to the family i.e the agitation and the restful sleep as pre-terminal , and that Mary doesn't have long.

    6.Rachel DOES want to hear from you

    The most important thing we can do for Mary right now is pray.........Rachel will keep us up to date on her from day to day..........she PM'd me to let me know.................Mary and I were very close as well as FK too, so we have been hearing from her.......

    Please just pray........that is what we need..............I have her on a huge prayer line.......and my entire family is praying too.......all my grandchildren, and Jesus listens to the little children........

    Cindy thanks so much........I had no idea my daughter was taking the picture.....I thought she was texting on her phone to my grandson who was home........I have another beautiful shot of my 13 year old grandaughter holding Mila........I will try to post it.....it is on Instagram..

    Cindy.....I am heartbroken over Mary.....I knew she was failing, but kind of kept it to myself....actually Mary did PM a couple others, but we did not post it........I did not want to post anything negative that she might see should she decide to lurk, which she said she was doing at one point.

    Prayers are the best thing....

    Cami thank u for writing us... My heart just breaks but all I can hold onto is we will all be together again. I hate breast cancer!!!! 

    Mary I know you are free from pain and cradled in Gods arms. We will miss you! Thank you for all of the love, support, and encouragement. You helped me so much I will be forever grateful thank you. 

    Rachel I will be praying and sending thoughts to your family.

    God speed... This was a poem my Aunt picked for my grandma's funeral last week... It comforted me...

    She's Gone

    You can shed tears that she is gone or you can smile because she has lived. You can close your eyes and pray that she’ll come back or you can open your eyes and see all she’s left. Your heart can be empty because you can’t see her or you can be full of the love you shared. You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember her and only that she’s goneor you can cherish her memory and let it live on. You can cry and close your mind,be empty and turn your back or you can do what she’d want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

    Sending healing hugs... We love you angel Mary!!

    Sweet Pea

    (((((Ducky and Firecracker and GMA)))) and anyone else who needs a hug.  I did not know Mary well but I am still feeling a loss and sadness..😒 Death is always hard for those that are left behind.  I lost both my parents within 4 days of each other in March of 2013.  Keeping busy is what kept me going through that time..  ((((Group Hug))))
