Happy Mothers Day Mom,
Its been 4 years already since you left, Ive wanted to write for so long but couldnt stop the tears from falling to sit and write to you, so ill begin by saying i miss you more than words could ever say. I think of you everyday, I miss all the walks on york beach at night, all the rides we took everywhere. and most of all i miss all the laughs we had, but all those memories i still have and think about always. I walk through crowds and i think i see you, when im alone thinking about you i can smell your perfume, and i think im losing my mind, but then i think about what the preist said, when your thinking of her, shes thinking of you. God i hope thats really true! I just want to thank you mom for my brothers and sister because without them i dont know where i would of been after losing you.... I had the biggest empty spot in my heart when you left, then my granddaughter was here shortly after. She filled alot of it. we named her after you, Nevaeh Mary and boy can i see you through her. She has your curly hair, auburn highlights, wish you could of met her mom, you would have loved her. She's my world. Us six kids are all fine and we took your word, if anything ever happened to you us kids would stick together, and we are. But life really isnt the same without you mom. but like you always said. life needs to go on. I love you and miss you for eternity. xoxoxo Bambi

Mom, I hope you are listening, theres a few things I never got to say-
I've tried to write this a thousand times,I usually get about right here and start to cry. Mom you were taken from ud way to soon. You never wanted anything for yourself but tried to give us kids the sun, the stars and the moon.
Mom I know we never had alot of money or shiny things, but what you taught us kids was worth a hell of alot more than cars or diamond rings. Mom I don't think we could ever repay you for all the things you did well maybe if I had a dollar for every time I heard How the hell did your Mom raise 6 kids.
Mom you have always been there for me even when I was little and had a cough. Everytime I fell off my BMX you picked me up and dusted me off.
Mom you have always been there through the years, I wish you were hear now to dry my tears.
I remember you scraped up enough money to get me some new clothes to go to my first day of school.
I remember you tucked in my shirt and fixed my belt and said to look at these baby blues.
I got on the bus and remember thinking hey I want to see over my seat. I looked out the back of the bus to see if you were coming and only seen the tears rolling off your cheeks.
Mom life seems so empty without you around. You gave is all so much. Its hard to go to you and talk to the ground. What I would give for one more big hug and a kiss. These are the things I will miss.
Mom you were the one who taught us boys how to treat a lady. I don't remember you whistling or yelling hey baby.You told us to treat them with respect and the true meaning of love ain't great sex.
Mom most of all youn taught us to be theren for one another, someday it would be all we had. I just didn't realize it would be after losing you and then our Dad.
I want to thank you for the ones that you have left behind without the five of them I would be out of my mind.
When I didn't think I could go on they told me they loved me and said she would want us to be strong. When I was sick to my stomach and couldn't eat they told me they loved me and helped me on my feet.
Mom and I know that was you coming through all of them. I want to thank you for being my mom and most of all my best friend. I want you to rest in peace, you dont have to worry we are all as strong as you prayed for us to be. If I know you, you are at the beach and you and god are walking hand in hand, and hes telling you about the times you only see one set of footprints in the sand.
Forever in My heart
I love you

I hope you remember me which Im sure most of Mary's children do. I'm so sorry about your Mom. I know it's been almost a year but I had no idea until tonight. I lost my Mom in Oct 2003 to brain cancer. Loosing yout mother is the hardest thing I have had to go through. I wish I could say time heals, but I can't. I know for a fact you all loved (and still love) your mom so much as I do mine. I don't know what happened for god to take Mary from you but I can only hope she is under the same wings as my mom and they are both looking down at us, protecting us and our children. Again I'm so sorry,,,, Love Always Faith Austin(Danforth)

Moments of grief,
So full of pain,
I wish I could hear her laughter, Hear her call my name.
An empty heart
So full of sorrow
I need more time.
I wish there was one more tomorrow.
So alone and lack of guidance,
The things you take for granted, Love your parents.
Emptiness cannot be explained, Words not said.
You live in regret.
So much I wish I said
Feelings needed to be expressed, and never said.
Now I have to live with them lost inside my head.
One more hug or just hello, a kiss.
Everyday she will be lovingly missed.
I wish she was still here,
For one more thought or lesson.
My mother was truely my greatest blessing.
I wish I could ask God why?
It was too soon,
I'm not ready to say Goodbye.
So young and full of happiness.
It's too soon.
All I feel is sadness.
So much love I have received.
I'm angry that we must grieve.
So much anger and so much guilt.
The man I am today, she truely built.
For this I give Thanks and praise.
I know in my heart that I'll see my Mother someday.
For this day I anxiously wait,
To see her smile,
Receive one more hug.
That day will be great.
I hope and wish her happiness, Where ever she may be.
So much she will miss,
I hope somehow she gets to see.
Tears steadily fall.
For the life I live now,
I Thank my mother most of all.
Until the day we are together again,
I love you Mom.
Your son and your Friend.

May her love and prayers guide us as we go through each day. May we find strenght and comfort in knowing she is with God this day. She has felt His loving embrace. Just imagine her sweet smile when she finally saw His face.
We were truly blessed by God when He shared her life, her love with each of us. I hope and pray it's in God's plan we will see her again one day in His Promise Land.
All my love to the ones Mary Frances loved most.

Please know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers. I didn't know Mary personally but know how very special she was through the eyes of my grandmother.

To everyone that I know in Mary's family..
I was very sad to hear about your and our loss. What a special woman she was.
As I read the other emails,I just sat here and thought , how very exact these people were in expressing the kind of person Mary was.
we had gone out a few times and I still can remember the laughter that we shared. She could lite up a room with her smile and ever so gentle personality.
I so wish I could have gone to say my good byes but I am sure she will know that my love was with her.
she did touch many lives with all that she knew,: kindness, caring, gentleness,concerned always for others, love, sharing etc etc and through these people, other lives will continue to be blessed because of who she was and what she shared and taught to so many people. All of these traits will continue and will be carried on.. . she taught so many the meaning of love, laughter and how a smile can change lives. .She knew how to do that well.
mary was blessed, she left this world knowing that she was so loved, this is such a gift to take.
I will miss those occ times that we would see each other but her memories will live on and in my heart, she is tucked away,always to be remembered...
who could ever forget, that beautiful smile and gentle person...
my love to all of you

i know 3 people who are smiling, laughing and just holding each other at this moment....Mary and her parents ..what a reunion that must be....
