Dear FRiends,
It is with a very heavy heart that I am reporting the following news...
MarySecretary passed away on March 28, 2010.
There was an announcement on her Facebook account page from one of her close friends, but I did not see it until today as there is a different link to hit in order to see her friends' posts.
Please pray for her husband, her children and her grandchildren.
She looked as I pictured her - lovely and beloved.
My light and temporary trials have worked out for my good
Amen.
Amen.
Gosh, I'll miss seeing that tagline.
Same here... I keep alternating between joy that she’s in heaven and out of pain, and sorrow for myself at the loss of such a wonderful person from my life, and from our family here at FR. It won’t be the same without her...
I am shocked as well, I thought she was improving day by day. I also rejoice because she is no longer in pain, suffering, worried, etc. and is at peace, beholding the face of her savior as we speak. I will pray for Mary’s family and friends and for the comfort only our heavenly father can give.
Thanks for the ping.
RIP prayer ping.
She was a young 70.
Catholic ping for sad news.
One of the sweetest and most considerate members of this forum. Mary will be sorely missed :(
Prayers for her family.
Requiem æternam dona eis, Domine,
et lux perpetua luceat eis.
Te decet hymnus Deus, in Sion,
et tibi reddetur votum in Ierusalem.
Exaudi orationem meam;
ad te omnis caro veniet.
Requiem æternam dona eis, Domine,
et lux perpetua luceat eis.
Amen
Oh Lord, pray for her.
I had no idea; I thought that she was recovering. I always had a soft spot for her in the midst of our sparring.
May the Lord have mercy upon her, and keep her safe and speed her to Him in His Heaven.
Prayers for Mary and her family are going up!
My heartfelt condolences to family and friends.

I’m sorry to hear it. Prayers for her.
May her soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God rest in peace.
God rest & keep you MarySecretary....prayers of comfort for the family.
About two weeks before she died Mary emailed me as she was on my private devotional and prayer chain. She asked me to pray for her but did not let me know how sick she really was. I had a whole lot of prayer requests from January to March and she prayed for all of those people hard. She was truly a beautiful soul and I will miss her.
A scripture that would describe her is this from Daniel which is my favorite (Chapter 12:3):
3Those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever.
That is truly what Mary was about.
Our days our numbered and I only wish that we all live out our mission in life to His purpose. I'm sure that Mary did fulfill His mission for her. May she pray for us in heaven.
