Marybe
I've admired your strength and taken your advice from afar. May God wrap his healing arms around you and keep you safe. Please come back to us. We love you -
Hey Marybe, I didn't order any cookies when you were baking the other week, so I'm ready for mine now! And I like chocolate!
Sleep well tonight, dear sister. We love you and miss you! Sending love and great big hugs to you!

Marybe...........We posted back and forth a few times, and I always got either an uplifting feeling from you, or a lovely comment about my battle with this dreadful disease..........You inspired me to go on, at times when nothing seemed clear.
I hope and pray you are at peace, just knowing how many people your lovely spirit has touched......your a wonderful person, and a true inspiration to all who dwell here.................hugs, and prayers............good friend.......

Rest well dear Barbara - so sorry you are going through this with everything else...may you and all the many people who love Marybe have the chance to hold her hand again tomorrow.

Dear Marybe....all of these posts are a true testament to the love all of us have for you. You have been there for all of us....and we are here for you now.

Hi Marybe,
Don't feel bad about missing Breaking Bad tonight. I'm behind on them myself. I have several ideas on how they might end the season next year and I'm sure you do, too. Will Jessie be the end of Walt or maybe some stupid mistake Saul makes will be his undoing. I look forward to "watching" the final eight episodes next year with you. I love you, dear sister/friend.

Barbara, give Marybe my best. Tell her I will never forget her. Love Ya!
-
Barbara, thank you so much for the updates. I hope you rest well and peacefully tonight.
Marybe, I have only been here a short time and your posts helped me so much when I was so scared and sad. Your caring nature comes through in all the posts and I feel like I know you. I picture you going places, like to work and to the doctor carrying baked goods and limping a little with a bad foot. The only thing I can't picture is the way your voice sounds. I'm hoping and praying for God to carry you through this episode. I'm not done getting to know you better! This post is now 40 pages long!! So much love...it will take you hours to read it! ((((((Marybe))))))) Love, Heidi -

Barb u are truly wondrous please get some well deserved rest and know we are all here for u too.

Marybe,
Thinking of you and sending you all my best. Hugs. -
Marybe,
I'm feeling less than articulate right now. I spent Labor Day laboring in my classroom so everything would be ready for my first graders this week. I know people sometimes can't work with stage IV, but I was always inspired by how you worked and carried on so normally with life. You are my shining role model, always.

PS: Barb, thank you so much! -
Marybe, sending hugs from San Diego...

Marybe, you're an inspiration to us all. Walk in beauty.

Marybe, you were one of the first people I met two years ago and I've loved and respected ever since. I believe in miracles and pray for your return to health and happiness. If that is not to be I pray for your comfort, peace and a joyous reunion with the loved ones who have gone before you.
-
Barbara, Thank you for taking all our love to Marybe. You are so special and an encouragement to me along with Marybe. The two of you have brought me through some very dark places and I love you both so much. I so wish I could actually be there with you.
Marybe, My heart is with you and praying for your peace and comfort and that the Lord will hold you safely in His arms as you go through this step of the journey. You have always been so encouraging, supportive, and caring to me. Even actually wiping tears from my eyes late at night when I did not know what else to do or think. Sending cookies to cheer me up when I least expected, sharing scarfs, back braces, and just the joy of life. You even got me to try some new things that I was sure I would not like or was afraid to try. You are part of my heart and always will be. I am so thankful for your friendship and the times we got to be together. Peace, love, gentle hugs and lots of prayers. Love you my dear friend, Amy Jo

Marybe may you find comfort in knowing you are so loved by so many.
Thank you Barb for being our "representative"

For us all:
That thorny path, those stormy skies,
Have drawn our spirits nearer;
And rendered us, by sorrow's ties,
Each to the other dearer.

Ruth, thank you. How well that captures how we all feel, right now, as Marybe draws us together.

I have to say, I have been reading over this topic over the last day and I am just overwhelmed with how well everyone gets along and that Marybe has such a huge support network. You can only get that by being such a great person. I love how anyone, of any stage, is allowed to speak. So refreshing.
I wish for peace and blessings to surround Marybe and her family.
Barb, you are amazing yourself, and I wish peace and blessings and safe travels for you.

What an amazing testament this is to the kind heart that is Marybe. Always the voice of reason, always genuine. And what an amazing friend in Barbara. Thanks, Barb, for being there and representing those of us here who care for a cyberfriend from afar.

Marybe - Although I have not posted much on these boards, especially lately, I have followed your postings and have been truly inspired by you. Sending healing {{{HUGS}}} and prayers to you and your family and friends.

Marybe - thoughts, prayers and love.

Marybe, you're making people say really mushy things in this room - please make them stop!!!!
(I love you my friend...if it's God's will that this is your time, I hope he grants you and Tim peace. I'll just miss you dreadfully and still hope that day is far off)
Love, marlegal
