Prayers, Blessings & Wishes for Saint

Jenniferz

Many, many prayers to Pat's family, and to Faith. Saint was such a comfort when I was first diagnosed. I miss her already. However, the Easter celebration that she will have with our other sisters will be absolutely glorious!



Fly with the angels, Saint.

"For All the Saints Who from Their Labors Rest"
by William W. How, 1823-1897

1. For all the saints who from their labors rest,
Who Thee by faith before the world confess,
Thy name, O Jesus, be forever blest,
Alleluia! Alleluia!

2. Thou wast their Rock, their Fortress, and their Might;
Thou, Lord, their Captain in the well-fought fight;
Thou, in the darkness drear, their one true Light.
Alleluia! Alleluia!

3. Oh, may Thy soldiers, faithful, true and bold,
Fight as the saints who nobly fought of old
And win with them the victor's crown of gold.
Alleluia! Alleluia!

4. O blest communion, fellowship divine,
We feebly struggle, they in glory shine;
Yet all are one in Thee, for all are Thine.
Alleluia! Alleluia!

5. And when the fight is fierce, the warfare long,
Steals on the ear the distant triumph song,
And hearts are brave again, and arms are strong.
Alleluia! Alleluia!

6. But, lo, there breaks a yet more glorious day;
The saints triumphant rise in bright array;
The King of Glory passes on His way.
Alleluia! Alleluia!

7. From earth's wide bounds, from ocean's farthest coast,
Through gates of pearl streams in the countless host,
Singing to Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
Alleluia! Alleluia!

8. The golden evening brightens in the west;
Soon, soon, to faithful warriors cometh rest.
Sweet is the calm of Paradise the blest.
Alleluia! Alleluia!

So many of you have the perfect words to express our feelings!

To Pat's family - this probably is the hardest time you've ever gone through. But even now - hold each other close, remember the good memories you have, and KNOW that Pat is safe - never again to have the pain and trials we face in this world. One moment at a time, you all CAN move forward, striving to live so that you will be with her again some day, AND in the presence of our Heavenly Father. My thoughts and prayers have been with you and Pat, and will continue to be with you in the days ahead. God is faithful and will keep His promise to be always at your side!

My condolences to our Saint's family, she is alive in your hearts.  I had the honor of meeting Pat in Las Vegas of 2008, she was such a loving caring person.

Fly freely with the Angels.

Our Saint is in Heaven!  She is celebrating the Resurrection with all our friends and relatives.  What an honor to have known and loved a true saint.

Blessings and Hugs to family.  she will be watching your back.

You are all so amazing, you have inspired me to be pro-active in this impossible time:

I have now begun mobilizing as many friends and colleagues here in Vienna as I can possibly contact to run/walk as a group at the "Pink Ribbon Run"  on Sat. April 17 (the day before the Vienna Marathon - the pink ribbon people here have managed to arrange the charity event as a sideline to the annual marathon - too cool!). As soon as I know how many people have registered, I will arrange for some sort of t-shirt (if we have time...). I would like us all to have "For Pat" on our chests. If this doesn't pan out, we will just use fabric markers to write it on! I have already sent the word out that anyone who donates and takes part gets pasta and beer at my house afterwards. I think Pat would have loved this! I have been crying on and off for almost 24 hrs. now, but this really helps! I will keep you posted and take pictures on the day of the event - to be posted on my FB and here as well!

I have been thinking of some funny memories of Pat since yesterday - I will be posting some ASAP.

Love to you all,

Maura

That sounds like something Saint would have done, Maura.

Thank you Maura, I would love to hear stories of you and your sister.

I am still incapable of adding to this treasury of support, but am basking in the collective wisdom.

At this point I have not heard from Greg regarding the arrangements. We are still in Orlando on Disney mayhem. I've asked Greg his preference about our tradition of the single pink roses from those who are interested. I thought that he might prefer to receive the actual money for the Cinderella-to-Scottland fund. I will let you know just as soon as possible.

Maura, perhaps you will learn the details while we are out in the sunshine, where life marches on and joy and wonder are around every corner.

Divine timing.

I shake my head in awe.

Oh, I am so very sorry!!  I am so saddened by the loss of yet another strong, beautiful, brave woman to this disease!!!!  To Pat's family, I wish you the most sincere condolences, wishing I could hug each of you.  Pat, fly free, sweet sister.  You were so much an encouragement during my early days of diagnosis, not letting anything stop you - now, nothing can.

Faith - please also accept this hug from me - you have rallied Pat so much, and have been talking for her through you with your marvelous writings - please enjoy your family and time with them and thank you for allowing us into your circle.

Peace.  Love.  strength.

Faith, I would like to participate in anything you do for Saint's funeral.

Saint's sister..thanks for posting....

Cinderella, we are here for you and any other family member whenever you need. We are only a post away. someone is always here.

Maura, I'm so glad you have that run to put your energy into - that's awesome!  Please know that every single one of us here will be cyber-running right alongside you and your friends.  Your tears are inevitable for such a huge loss.  I just hope that those memories you have - and I know many have to be too hysterical to even explain - will fill more of your days than the tears.  I shared a night with Pat in Las Vegas and I still laugh when I think about it ... I can - thank God - still hear her laughter in my head when I try!  Faith, I have dozens of chatters email addies if you'd like me to get word out about services or donations.  Hugs to us all.

She will be truely missed by so many people. A very sad day.

Please PM me if you have ???

Faith, I sent you a pm. The telephone # is not working or it sounds like it can be a fax #.

hugs and prayers,

candie

If you don't need the 800 service, the main # is 608-365-9484.  Pat actually worked at the store for a while long ago (told to me by the woman who answered the phone).  Nice to hear

To her sisters  here at BCO...What can I say?...We lost such a wonderful friend who cannot be replaced.....I woke up on the morning she passed at about the time of her leaving us....i felt so sad and could not understand why...My computer had been down for a few days due to renovations and I guess God knew I could not handle the renovations adn Pat's passing at the same time but let me know that she was gone......I will cherish the years I have known pat through BCO and will continue to come here even though it pains me to do so.......I know Pat would want me to be here supporting all of our sisters as she has supported me through all this time.......

Molly, my dearest, my extra-niece.

It is all about rainbows you know.

I've been thinking all week about what it must be like to enter heaven during Holy Week.

I can imagine that it would have been an 'easy' assignment to put your mom in the angel's choir.

But I can also imagine that she's in charge of jelly beans and colored grass for Easter baskets for children early to arrive in heaven. She would be so good at helping those who had special needs here on earth. She's probably skipping amidst the flowers...... helping train the tulips for early blooming.

I feel so very fortunate for having had late night slumber parties with your mama.

She was so passionate. She was so passionate about so many things. She was so passionate about family..... and about being a mama.

You've done her proud, missMolls. You've done her proud.

And we will celebrate together the strides you take -- even in your sorrow.

We love you.

Big hugs from both of us.

"Auntie" Debbie and "Uncle" Allen

Oh Mols ... that you could post that in the midst of your pain says volumes about the woman you are my dear.  Pat, you did good with these kids ... you did good.  Molly, I love you in the way that only cyber connection allows, but it is a love nonetheless and it's good    Sing sweetly dear child, and sing loudly, and enjoy every single second of your life.  Hugs our Cinderella.
