In memory of Marybe

Congrats on the 5-year milestone, lago. Keep it goin'!

I know some that posted here for Marybe are gone now too (R.I.P. justjudie & LuvRVing,) but like justjudie wrote above, Marybe was the poster girl for just going out and living a life that was not all about her BC. Yeah, it was there, but like an afterthought, a footnote. She never let the BC define her. I thought that was wonderful.

BTW, I believe her dad finally had to make the move from his own home and into an assisted facility, being quite elderly now.

congrats lago!

I read some of her old posts today (like I said I was going to) and I had forgotten that she had planned a trip to Europe for that October. So sad that she didn't get to do that.

Many times she commented on how surprisingly quick someone could "go" at the end and that it freaked her out. So, there's the irony that it did happen to her just like that. Up and posting one week, gone the next. On the other hand, she wasn't a "vigil" kind of gal, and I don't think that route would have been to her liking. Honestly, she never really cared for the "Angel" designation either. Yes, she knew that was how a fallen BC sister was honored around here, but she wasn't into that label at all. I can't help thinking that if she did get herself a set of angel wings, she'd be likely to flap them in your face as if to say, "I always liked costumes, and get a load of this one!"

I miss how straightforward she was and her Midwestern sensibilities. I just miss her.

Lago....same here! A day or two before she passed we were in contact. Who could have ever guessed that that wonderful heart of hers would ever stop beating.....

I will never forget Narybe. I was blessed to have been there with her at the end.

I am doing fine, Joyce. Still missing my Marybe. My heart is broken again since Amy Jo (Elisimo) passed yesterday.

Hi Barb - good to "see" you - hope you're doing well - I miss Marybe too and think of her often. Sorry to hear about Amy Jo's passing. Sending hugs, S.

Facebook posted a photo memory for me this weekend. It was when I first met Marybe. Marybe, Adey and Englishwriter from BCO were there as well. Only English and myself still here. Miss them both

R.I.P. sweet friend, Marybe.

Remembering her today. She had an indelible personality. When I go back and read some of her past posts it is almost like she is still with us. If only.
