Please be in prayer for our LadyX. She will be undergoing surgery tomorrow morning(5/24/06). Any of you who know LadyX, know that she has been a member of our FR Family for a long time and is very much loved and respected. She has inspired us, made us laugh, given us some of the wisest of advice, wowed us with tales of her life in the Marines, and shared her childhood memories of an idealic time. Some will recall the sailing of the Mobius, or the time on the tropical island. We have shared many adventures. Now, it's time to let her know how much she is loved.

Post your prayers, encouragements, jokes, pictures or memories, so she will have them to read when she gets back home.

[WVNan]

Oh Bernie, thank you for taking the time to give us the news personally. Steve just called me a little bit ago. Our prayers are with you and all the family. May the Lord give you comfort and peace in the days ahead. I am so glad that she got home and had the chance to see her great grandaughter, and that the two of you had time to just "be" together. I know she was tired, having fought the disease for so many years.

There is no doubt that she is truly "home" now. My hope for the future is that she will be there to greet me when I go home. Of course, there is no way that I could ever convey to another how deeply Maggie and I loved one another. The pain of losing her rivals that of the passing of my family members. My heart is breaking.

God bless you and give you strength for the journey.

The hardest thing is letting go.

When our Heavenly Father calls our loved ones home, we must bow to His will, and say 'a Dieu.'

Dear Maggie, may "flights of angels sing thee to thy rest."

[The Mayor]

I am lost for words Nan.

[BykrBayb]

Rest in peace, precious lady. May the Lord cradle you in his loving arms. We weep for you now, but we rejoice in having been allowed to borrow you from Heaven, if only for a while.

[Mama_Bear]

Oh, Nan, I am crying with you. I just can't stop crying. Not because she has gone Home to be with her Lord whom she so faithfully served throughout her life, but because we no longer have her here with us. She was a constant source of inspiration to me and I believe I am a better person for knowing her.

Now, her valiant struggle is over and she can rest in His perfect Peace. I can hear angels singing. Surely Heaven is rejoicing her arrival.

Please God comfort her family and friends as we mourn her passing.

Dear Bernie,

My prayers are with you and the family. I am saddened by the news of my Cuz's departure to live with the Lord, yet can't help but rejoice that she won't know anymore pain.

She was an example to me and I will miss her. Please don't be a stranger to The Finest or FR.

You and the children are in my prayers daily.

Oh Bernie and Nan..I am sure that this wonderful woman, who touched so many lives is now in God's loving glory.

How empty the heart & home can be when a loved one passes but the comfort of her Christian walk & eternal life can give you all some peace.

We thank God that we had the honor to know & experience this wonderful woman. She brought sunshine where ever she went and is now doing the same in heaven

I am truly sorry. The day comes for each of us when we take our last breath & step into eternity, but we are never quite ready to say goodbye

[AnAmericanMother]

Our deepest condolences.

Maggie is in the arms of a loving God. Now we will pray for you, that you will be comforted and rest in the assurance of Christ's love and mercy.

ALL that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. He that raised up Jesus from the dead will also quicken our mortal bodies, by his Spirit that dwelleth in us. Wherefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.

Thou shalt show me the path of life; in thy presence is the fulness of joy, and at thy right hand there is pleasure for evermore.

[WVNan]

Thank you MB, and thank you for the beautiful graphic of Maggie.

Thank yo all for your words of comfort. They help although I can't stop crying right now. It will take awhile. Steve said he will let me know if any services are arranged. She donated her body for medical research, so he don't know yet if they will have a memorial service.

Dearest Sista, My heart is heavy with pain as I try my best to be gentle in telling you that God called for Maggie to come home to Him during the night to be at His side. Her pain and suffering have ended forever.

God allowed her to return to her home for a few brief hours,where she was able to see her great grand daughter for the first time. To tell me that she loved me and that she was oh so tired. Her grandson fixed her request for chicken noodle soup, and macaroni and cheese dish. (passing on the word to him through to cook the noodles 15min not according to the package direction.) She wanted them soft. We held hands and talked a bit, then she told me she was tired and to eat something. She wanted to sleep after coming home from dialysis. The Lord called her around 3am to 5am this morning. She slept in His peac. Thank you Jesus for giving us a few more moments with her. Our family and I want to thank you all for your support and prayers. I was able to show her prayer request book sent to her and read some of the prayers. She was truely touched by you all. For she loved each and every one of you with all her heart. In my heart I know she is telling God about all of you and thanking Him for giving her the honor and joy you gave her. Love, Bernie

PROUD MARINE
YOU ARE MY HERO

[WVNan]

Thank you Tonkin for notifying your ping list. I asked the Ad Min. to remove that dreaded Tripod from her memorial post. I didn't notice the graphic was a Tripod through my tears. I think the Ad Min is asleep however.

[ishabibble]

God bless and keep you, Maggie. You fought the good fight.
May your eternity be one of peace and joy.

My deepest condolences for Maggie's wonderful family.

[La Enchiladita]

Dear Bernie, I am so sorry. Please accept my sympathy. May God sustain you and all the family. She is surely with the Lord she loves.

The ONLY thing I can think of now
is that Texas Cowboy is there with LadyX now.

My heart is broken.
