Marcy Bennett ... An Angel Departs

My friend Marcy made it to heaven yesterday. I am told that one of her final comments was that "Heaven is looking so good" ... a testament to her faith and her resolve. I absolutely know she has taken up residence and will wait patiently for us, as we make our own way to her and to God.

What a totally neat woman she was, a bundle of energy when I met her, a charmer with twinkling eyes and a great smile ... even in her years of relatively lesser energy, she still kept that twinkle, that spark, that playfulness that all children of God have. She had an indomitable spirit that will live on, above us and within us. She is loved by many and we cry for losing her, much too young. But we smile knowing she is at peace, no longer fighting for breath but inhaling deeply of the heavenly air that fills us all with hope and power.

Remember ... Marcy is there, right there whenever we need to speak to her. She is there for us, just as she was on earth, for so many. She will never be forgotten because her imprint was so strong and so unique. Thank you, Marcy, for every smile you ever shone on me, for every bread pudding we ever shared, for every hug you ever gave me ... you will be in my heart and in our hearts forever.
