My dear Mary,
The time has come to say goodbye and let you go. Though we never discussed where you wished your ashes to be spread, an overwhelming feeling of placing you with your Nana came to me. So with the blessing of God, this is where you’ll be laid to rest. Nana is your new roommate, now. I hope this brings you peace. I hope you are happy with the way there is a place for loved ones to come to pay their respects.
I miss you, Sweetie Pie. I miss the light of your smile and the sweet music of your laughter and voice. I miss the heavenly sparkle of love in those precious brown eyes of yours. My hurt and regret for not being able to say goodbye to you, and to be by your side when you passed, is soothed only by the knowing you are in the loving arms of your Heavenly Father and Nana, now and forever, with all the loved ones who’ve gone before you, and in the hearts of all those you’ve now left behind.
Thank you for not giving up on us, Sweetie. I thank God and you for your love and companionship all those years. You brought meaning and healing to my life. You inspired handfuls of songs and made me whole. I am so terribly sorry I wasn’t able to retire and spend time with you, and do all the things as we had planned. How I looked forward to us volunteering together at the Lions Club, and participating in our long-awaited much-anticipated bong competitions again, taking us full circle to our beginnings.
My heart aches for you, Sweetie. I look forward to when thoughts of you will make me smile, feeling only happiness and gratitude. How long that will be, God only knows. I promise to you that I will finish out my life honoring your memory, be there for our children, and the fur babies you left with me in Skittles and Bingo. I look forward to knowing that when my time does come, I will be greeted by your loving arms.
‘til we meet again, Sweetie Pie.
Your loving husband,
Craig
Mary's Memorial Slideshow - August 22, 2025
The eldest daughter of my mother's younger sister, I remember my cousin as a sweet and loving soul. She was named for our maternal great-grandmother and was welcomed by our grandfather, Charles Oscar as his first brow-eyed girl. She was a bright and charming child and I often had the pleasure of getting to mind her and eventually her sibs when her parents went out on Saturday nights.
She especially loved to hear my ghost stories at bedtime. She was a good friend to my sister and they had a lot in common. Easy to love, we all adored her. She will be missed and her memory will not be soon forgotten.
