From angeleyes32 on 12/27/2001 11:32:39 PM
The family of Mary J. Merrey would like to thank everyone on the Qmunity for their support and love during our trying times. Mom loved this network and loved everyone in it as if she knew them personally. Mom passed away this evening (12-27-01) and will be buried Saturday 12-29-01. I don't know what else to say. She fought long and hard and I hope she helped some people along the way. Our mother was a strong willed and spirited individual who did things her way - up until the very last. May God bless everyone and bring you a peaceful and smoke free New Year.

Thank you.

Jane, Debbie, Danny (and 7 grandkids)

I am so sorry for this loss. I never got to met or know this beautiful person, but from all the great things that have been said about her, I know she will be sorely missed and I wished I would have had at least one chance to have talked with her. I am thankful she did leave her profile. I was inspired and impressed and feel I got to see a part of who she is.
My condolences to her family at her home and here on the Q.

From wortner on 12/27/2001 11:46:49 PM
My thoughts and my prayers are with all of you, Mary's family. Mary was one of my very first Q buds. She was, for a short time, a valued member of an email prayer group I started prior to the Spirituality and Quitting forum, which is still going. Mary was a friend to many, and for the past many, many weeks always made sure the Bonfire was lit which inspired and illumined the smoke-free path for so many.

My hope and prayer is that her spirit will live on here, and that those still struggling, or who are procrastinating about quitting will find the courage and the encouragement to once and for all step foot onto the smoke-free path upon which the bonfire still shines. The lives they will be saving are their own.

In the words of Vince Gill, "Go Rest High on That Mountain...."!!

May these words of comfort reassure you that Mary made a difference in so many lives here. May this be of comfort to you and your family:
Take My Hand, Precious Lord


(Words & music by Thomas A. Dorsey)
Precious Lord, take my hand
Lead me on, let me stand
I'm tired, I'm weak, I'm lone
Through the storm, through the night
Lead me on to the light
Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home

When my way grows drear precious Lord linger near
When my light is almost gone
Hear my cry, hear my call
Hold my hand lest I fall
Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home

When the darkness appears and the night draws near
And the day is past and gone
At the river I stand
Guide my feet, hold my hand
Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home

Precious Lord, take my hand
Lead me on, let me stand
I'm tired,I'm weak, I'm lone
Through the storm, through the night
Lead me on to the light
Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home

May your hearts be strong and your spirit soar free,
Net

Mary gave inspiration and warmth to so many here - she will remain a part of my motivation to be smoke-free, forever.

Good-bye, (((Mary))) - my dear neighbor, just down the road - I know you go in peace, and having accomplished so many of your goals. You were heard, your impact was far larger than you might ever have dreamed it would be! - with your honesty and caring, you have enhanced our understanding of the value of our own lives.

From daytimer on 12/28/2001 12:12:31 AM
Tears...... Yet, happiness because she has moved on to a better place. I know she'll check in on us at her bonfire everynight. I know that she is what the 'Q' is all about. That is strength, gentleness, forcefullness, sharing, giving, caring, and most of all love, which encompasses all of the above, plus. I know that several people have listened to her and will not smoke again because of her words. I also know we loved her.

Tears, hugs, and prayers for Jane, Debbie, Danny & the grand kids for their loss. My heart and prayers are with you today and in the future.

Stay with us at the 'Q' and for those of you that smoke, join us in our non smoking quests when you are ready. We will be here for you.

I wish I could be with you and hug you and help through the next few days, weeks, but the most I can do is send this post to you and let you know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Even though your mother, Mary (aka our TillieToiler) has passed on and is no longer in pain, no longer suffering, and surely she is in a more peaceful place...it doesn't take away your loss and the feelings that come with the loss of someone so loved by many. Your mother touched so many of us on the Q and she helped many get through so tough moments...she will remain an inspiration to us.
There's a song which kept on running through my head during my mother's death...it got me through some weepy moments and I hope it will help you:

"When you walk through a storm,
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark...
At the end of the storm,
Is a golden light
And the sweet, silver song of a lark...
Walk on through the rain,
Walk on through the wind,
Though your dreams be tossed and blown...
Walk on...Walk on...
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone...
You'll never walk alone."

May your mother be in peace and may you and your family feel our love and our comfort and our hugs for you...you are not alone...we are here for you...Love, JuneEliz

Heaven has another Angel...a very special Angel named Mary J. Merrey

From nicless on 12/28/2001 4:49:10 AM
Jane, Debbie and Danny,

I lost a friend once a few years back that died of cancer. She wasn't afraid to die, but she felt bothered that she didn't get a chance to "leave her mark" here on earth, as she felt each person should leave their mark before they die. Well she had indeed and didn't know it. She was a very dear person to me and all who knew her.

Your mother much reminds me of my friend who was also called "Mary", by shear coincidence, and I know within my heart and soul she indeed left her mark, to many here. I never had the privilage of dialogueing with her personally, much to my dismay, but read her posts, I certainly did, and I gained strength through them, as I will through her memory. I want you to know that there is no doubt in my mind your mother "left her mark" in our lives and I'm sure in your life as well. She goes onto a better place and receives her well earned "angel wings", and the best part of all, is that she will be remembered here, for her inspiration, her strength, her generosity in sharing with others, and the lessons she has taught us. I thank you for letting us know, and she along with all of you and your children will be in my prayers. My deepest condolences to you all!

I can picture it so clearly:
tillietoiler, alone upon a darkening stage, mob cap on head and mop and bucket in hand, tugging at her ear, smiling, then turning to walk through the curtain.
I hope she sensed us tugging our ears right back at her. She will be sorely missed, our Mary.

I too just read her profile a few weeks ago. Mary seemed to have a sense of inner beauty that you can't find that often. But also a load of spunk that many seem to lose over the years, she held onto it. In her own words from her profile "Que sera, sera! Whatever will be, will be, The future`s not ours to see, Que sera, sera! What will be, will be!

Thank you Mary, for your strength.

I am saddened to hear about Mary’s passing.

I don’t know if she died understanding all that she had done with her courage and strength.

Mary could have continued to smoke, but she didn’t. She chose to make peace with herself and enjoy not the buzz of the first morning smoke, but the intoxication of self-respect.

I feel so honored to have crossed paths with Mary. She is and will continue to be an inspiration to me. I will pass on her story in the Freedom From Smoking classes that I teach so that even more can learn from her bravery.

Mary may you rest in peace.

For Mary’s family may they find comfort during this trying time.

It must truly warm you to see how much Mary touched lives here.... very few of us ever have such a profound effect on so many.

In tribute, and with love, I repost this poem that I did at last nights bonfire.... It was sent to me by a Qmember last year upon my fathers passing. Nothing touched me like this did.

DO NOT STAND AT MY GRAVE

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow;
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain;
I am the gentle autumn's rain.
When you awake in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft star that shines at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there. I did not die.

Kisses,
sheila/supershe

Beautifully - just look at all the love and warmth and gratitude blooming in this post. Your inspiration, humor, and grace in the face of illness were awe-inspiring.

I know the members of our email Prayer Group of Christians from QuitNet join me in conveying our deepest sympathy. Our thoughts and Prayers are with the family...and now, Mary,

Go Rest High On That Mountain
-- By Vince Gill

I know your life on earth was troubled
And only you could know the pain
You weren't afraid to face the devil
You were no stranger to the rain

(Chorus)
Go rest high on that mountain
Now your work on earth is done
Go to heaven a-shoutin'
Love for the Father and the Son

Oh how we cried that day you left us
And gathered 'round your grave to grieve
Wish I could see the angel's faces
When they hear your sweet voice sing

Repeat chorus)

Thank you for letting us all know so quickly, and our hearts go out to you all. Mary will be sadly missed by all, and she changed a lot of lives here, for the better, and also encouraged so many people to quit, or to keep the quit, and that in itself is a great achievement, but she didn't do it for herself, but for all of us.
I loved her spirit, may it live on in all of us.

Love to you all at this sad time, Chrissy

I am so sad to hear about Mary but I do know she is OK. I have been looking forward to her bon-fire posts for several months now and it's easy to tell how much she helped and was loved here and I'm sure in real life also. She will be missed. When I first read her profile, I thought, what a pretty name she had also-Mary Merrey.
God bless you her children and grandchildren.

I'm sorry for your loss and ours as well, your mom(grandma) was a wonderful lady who helped many people. I had always taken comfort in knowing the bonfire was lit every night. I will keep your mom and you in my thoughts and prayer. Please take some comfort in the fact that she is at peace and in no pain in heaven now.

Thank you Jane, Debbie, Danny! I think that's why we loved Mary so much, just because she was so strong and spirited and did the things her own way. Not always easy for the children, I know....but she sure was a person who left an imprint. I will treasure her dearly in my memories.

I tried to reply to the post of Mary's death, but I think it was too full, so I'm starting a new one. Just wanted to add my condolences to her family. It's always hardest on the ones left behind, but we know that Mary is in a much better place where there is NO sickness or pain. She is flying high and at at peace. We will miss her dearly but I will always remember what a source of strength and courage she was to me. She helped me so much in the beginning. We all owe it to her to keep our quits strong!!

Love to all,

Mary left an enourmous legacy behind her. I still cry when I read her profile. Everyone should read it - it really reinforces the need to ktq. I would love to know how many of us she has touched. I would love for her family to know how many of us were encouraged, uplifted or otherwise touched by Mary. Her family is my prayers. I hope she can see how much good she has done and hope thather family know it, too.

"He Himself has said,
I will not in any way fail you
nor give you up
nor leave you without support."
Hebrews 13:5

May your troubled heart
find peace and comfort in the knowledge
that you are never alone.
May God's presence ease
your trembling spirit and give you rest.
He knows how you feel.
He is ever aware of your circumstances
and ready to be your strength,
your grace, and your peace.
He is there to cast sunlight
into all of your darkened shadows,
to send encouragement through the love
of friends and family, and
to replace your weariness with new hope.

God is your stronghold,
and with Him as your guide,
you need never be afraid.
No circumstances can block His love.
No grief is too hard for Him to bear.
No task is too difficult
for Him to complete.
When what you are feeling
is simply too deep for words
and nothing anyone does or says
can provide you with the relief you need,
God understands.
He is your provider --
today, tomorrow, and always.
And He loves you.
Cast all of your cares on Him...
and believe.

-- Linda E. Knight


With deepest sympathy
Elva (angelface)

rest in peace my friend...Thanks for the memories....

Reminder

Time will heal your wound he said
You will see the day
When you've forgot the misery
That fate has sent your way.

That man of sage was almost right
With the words he said
Time has passed---my wound has healed
But oh---the scar it made!!!



A Q friend gave me this to read at my mothers services. I wanted to share it.
