It is always a sad br when you hear of someone passing, br especially when that passing is of a friend. br There are never enough right words to say br as the hurt always goes too deep. br Our hearts go out to her family br whom we hold out arms to. br Mary was loved by many br not only for her poetry, br but also as a person br and the friendship that she gave. br She is out of pain now br and in God‘s loving arms forever more, br but that does not distract the sorrow br each and everyone of us feel. br May you rest in peace br dear sister and friend. br br br 27 January 2008.
