REST IN PEACE

Hi Mary,
I brought you a purple rose today and saw Jimmy and Oreo. Your house looks like you never left it! I couldn't stay long, too many memories, I was waiting for you to come around the corner! I Miss you so much, there is so much I need to talk to you about, there is no one who listens quite like you did. You are always in my thoughts and prayers. I love you so much. You were so much more than just my Sister, you were my Best Friend! I hope that it is all that we read about up in Heaven, then at least I know that you are at peace.

Love Always & Forever,
Tricia

Jim, John, & Jimmy,
There are now three angels in heaven looking out for us, (Mary, Joey, and Joe Glim), small comfort, believe me I KNOW. Mary/your Mom was an awesome lady with a heart of gold, a lot of compassion, love, and energy, nobody could do a dock party like she did, and we could always count on her for chocolate. Just like I could always count on her to keep track of you boys in the marina or vice versa, between us we didn't let you guys get away with too much. Like you said Jim, she's up there watching out for Joey, thank you for those words. I just wanted to let you know I was thinking of her and you guys. Stay in touch John.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, ""I welcome you.""

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......""My day was not in vain.""
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Mom,
arianna asks for you everyday and hold back tears and tell her your in heaven with the angels. You were always there for me and I wish I could have told you how much I loved you more. I will never forget you and all the kisses I got in school when you were a PTA mom. This is the worst thing that has ever happened to me in my life and I cant stop thinking about you all day. I wish I could just have a sign that I know for sure was from you.

Hi Mary,
I love and miss you so much. I can't believe that you aren't here anymore, I keep hoping to wake up from this horrible nightmare.

All my Love to you Forever,

Mary,
I love and miss you sooooo much. It is so hard to go through each day without being able to talk to you or ask for advice. The kids are crying for you too! You were so much to so many people and you were taken away from us way tooo soon! You were not only my Big (little) Sister but also my BEST FRIEND! I could tell you anything and you would never judge me or the kids, you were always there offering your support or help. I miss talking to you ten or more times a day, and I wanted to come over after I dropped off Alyssa at school today, but I know you weren't there so I just came home and cried for you! My heart will forever be broken!! You will NEVER be forgotten. You were to good of a person, always willing to help anyone whether you knew them or not!

LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER WITH ALL MY HEART!!!

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Mom
another day without you and I miss you so much. Now I know what depression feels like. I feel like a piece of me died and my life wont be the same without you. I am thinking of you always, love your son and best friend Jimmy

Jim & Family

Our most sincere sympathies on the loss of your wife & mother.There are no words to comfort the surreal grief & agony you must endure.May you find comfort in all the wonderful memories & keep her alive in your hearts where she will live forever young. God Bless
Sincerly the Crane families

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Jim and Family:
I just learned yesterday about Mary's passing. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

Please accept my deepest sympathies.

My condolences to the families on Mary's passing.

Jimmy, I just read your poem and that was beautiful, Mary was always proud of her two boys.

My deepest sympathy goes out to all those suffering the loss of Mary. She was a wonderful person. God knows she tolerated the horrible behavior of our youth and never held it against us. I have nothing but great memories of Mary and I know she will always be with you in spirit.

To Mary and Her Family,
Words cant express what a lose this is of a beautiful and fun Lady. I have fond memories of all the fun we had at Toc and at your house.

It's difficult to understand why Mary,
this vibrant beautiful woman, has been taken from us. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, now and always.

Our deepest sympathies go out to the entire family. Mary was one of a kind and will be missed. May your memories and thoughts of her pull you through these difficult times.

To everyone who knew my momma knew she was the kindest person and I haven’t met one person who didn’t like my mom. If anyone needed a place to sleep, a little help because they were sick, or a friend who would do anything for them she was there no matter what she was doing she would drop everything for anyone. My mom was the meaning of living with god in your heart. My mom was my personal best friend and no one will ever fill this gap. She stood behind me no matter what and taught me the meaning of the perfect parent. From great birthdays and christmas’ to fighting for me in any way possible I could always depend on my mother. She waited hand and foot as a personal caregiver to people in my family who were terminally ill. I believe if she wasn’t so dedicated these people wouldn’t have lived as long and she helped them live. She made the time to make so many people feel that she was there only best friend but she had many and never forgot what was important to each one of them. I wish I could have repaid her the favor and took care of her but she was taken from us so early. I guess the phrase is true that the good die young. Mom was the best and I cant say it enough.
My mom was the backbone of the family keeping everyone in contact. Her home was ground zero for everyone to meet. And I know she would want everyone to stay strong for her and keep the love for everyone that she showed by example. That the family stay closer than ever to make her proud that all her hard work for everyone to love each other will not be forgotten. To the best women in the world we will all miss you and I personally promise to live how you taught and wanted me to live. So mom I hope your up there with grandpa and grandma eating all the dove bars and sun tanning enjoying heaven. I will miss you god bless you and rest in peace, You touched a piece of everyones heart and no one will ever forget you. My mom held my hand for a short while but she will have my heart forever.
Love always and forever, Jimmy

Grammy...

We will miss all your hugs, and smooches, all the cookies you snuck us when mom wasn't looking, all the late night sleepovers staying up way past my bedtime and eating too much chocolate. I'm glad you never listened to mom and snuck me in the pool when I was a baby, and gave me my first Oreo. You taught me how to be polite and not gas in public, and you always tell my Daddy not to swear in front of me. I'll never forget you, and I'll love you for always!
Love Arianna (your Beast :) )

Grammy,
Even though I'm so young and my memory isn't good, your hugs and kisses are impossible to forget. I loved how you used to rock me to sleep in the chair and take me for walks in my stroller. My heart will never forget the way it felt to be in your arms, and I will always have the picture of us at the fair on my dresser so I can remember your smiling face. I'll miss you!!
Love forever,
Audree (your snuggle bear)

Ma...
Ever since you were first in my life, you have showed me what a real mother is. I was so lucky to be your daughter these last 7 years, and don't know what I'm gonna do without you. You were my wedding planner, birthing coach, marriage counselor, therapist, and you were always there to answer any question I would be too embarassed to ask anyone else.
You were the best Grammy to my girls and I don't even know how to raise them without you by my side guiding me. I hope to be as good of a mom as you were to Jimmy and Johnny. I promise to make sure my girls always know what a wonderful grandma they had, and to make you a big part of their life even if you can't be here in person. You will always be in our hearts, and in our memories.
I love you forever, and will keep you in my heart everyday! I know you will be here with me too...

Mom, you're a wonderful mother,
So gentle, yet so strong.
The many ways you show you care
Always make me feel I belong.
You're patient when I'm foolish;
You give guidance when I ask;
It seems you can do most anything;
You're the master of every task.
You're a dependable source of comfort;
You're my cushion when I fall.
You help in times of trouble;
You support me whenever I call.
I love you more than I can express;
You have my total respect.
If I had my choice of mothers,
You'd definitely be the one I'd select

Jim,

Our prayers go out to your family. Wayne and I will miss Mary at the Marina during our visits. We know how much she enjoyed spending time there.

Mary,

My Sister, My Best Friend, My Everything! I will miss you so so so much. I don't even know where to begin, You were everything to me, you were always there for me and my family. Our hearts will be forever broken. We were always there for each other and I just don't know how I will make it without you, you always knew what I needed and I never had to ask or beg, you would just be there and offer or just do it. Tiff, Mikey & Alyssa will also be Lost without you, you were always there for them, for everything and anything, sleepovers, rides, shouting your support at their games and ceremonies, a close, loving, understanding, spoiling, safe place to run to when they got mad at Scott and I. You had so much more to do and see, we were supposed to grow old together, always there for each other, no matter what. You promised to help me get through the years of High School with the kids, especially Tiffanies' first year. I know that you are in a better place now, no more pain, no more suffering, that is the only thing that I am grateful for. Please watch over us and stay near by we will always and forever be thinking of you and praying for you.

ALL MY LOVE ALWAYS AND FOREVER.
