In memory of Marybe

chrissyb I still have her in my phone as well. I smile when I see her name.

Hard to believe it has been over a year. Still miss her.

*sigh*

Thank you, moderators!

The only thing I baked this holiday week was a rum cake.  I think Marybe would endorse it.  I'd serve up a large slice to her, if I could.

This is as close a pic of what my cake looks like as I could find.  

I'll be missing her into the New Year.

Saw the name "Marybe" in Active Topics this morning and had to post - I sure do miss her - she actually sent me cookies!  All the way to Canada and they got here in record time - I loved to read her posts - she gave me such energy on days when I just wanted to stay on the couch - I think of her often and she brings a smile to my face (but my heart is still sad - I HATE this disease). S.

I remember her so well

Especially when I first came on here

She gave so much asking for nothing in return

Thinking of u today Marybe"..

I hate this damn disease

It seemed like yesterday we got the news

I'll be thinkin of u all day today

And yes Elimer they should have found a cure by now

They can send a damn man to the moon..

Special Lady..RIP.xo

What a tremendous lady (and I'm not saying that just because she sent me cookies ). She is very much missed. I hope her puppies are doing okay.....

I have been thinking about her and my trip to the USA where I got to meet her.   A truly amazing lady and one that has left us way too soon.

I don't know why but I have been thinking of Marybe today.  Indeed she was one in a million.  I recall that 

when I was first diagnosed with mets in April 2010, she was the first person to respond to my post that it was back.  She had so much strength and was so brave.  She really helped me with her reassurances that I was not about to die imminently, that many women can and do live for yers after a mets diagnosis.  I leaned on her during that time and she helped me through. 

 I always found it amazing that although she was years into mets, she still worked full time, on her feet all day, as a dental hygienist.   She also helped her dad who was over ninety but still going strong.  If it had not been for BC I think Marybe would have lived a long productive life like her dad.  I have thought of him many times since Marybe passed away.  He must be very lonely without her. 

Marybe was a very remarkable person.  I miss her a lot.  Rest in peace, my friend.

I tell my best friend IRL about Marybe. My BFF has Stage IV BC, in just the bones, like how Marybe started out. Her 14 years was encouragement for so many and even now, she gives hope to my BFF.

her attitude was amazing

So was her heart

Early this morning, I found myself on the couch watching a couple of Twilight Zone episodes that I had not seen before, hoping to doze off again. (Marybe always seemed to catch those Twilight Zones marathons...she mentioned them several times to me.) I did finally manage to get back to sleep. Only on waking again did I realize the date and that it has been three years now since Marybe has passed. So, I guess I had a very fitting start to this day of remembrance of her. I miss her when I come to BCO. Think I might go back and read some of her old posts today.

I also feel like I should keep my eyes on the skies all day, just in case a purple balloon happens to float by. That would be weird if one did. Maybe not Twilight Zone weird, but still...

I can't believe it's been 3 years, Marybe was like a beacon she drew so many of us to her with her warmth and light
