YOUR DAUGHTER MARY

Hi Mary - Sorry I was not able to attend in person, my family and I watched the services online for your mother Celebration of Life and it was very nice.  Your sons Kevin and Calvin knocked it out the ballpark, they are sharp and I know that you are proud of them.  Kevin said it all "you have taken excellent care of Mom Marie for 15 years" very excellent care you gave her.  Don't let anyone nor no one can say any different.  You are truly blessed, no one can say differently.  The only thing I will say the remaining of your Mom's family have to live within themselves with the loss, they could have helped you more as a family, but they did not.  Shame on all them, everyone has they day and you will hear.  Wish them all God's blessing and move on, you don't owe anyone anything.  Hold your head up high and be proud.  My family will be here for you always, our doors are open.  We love you dearly, the blessings will be coming, hope you can contain.  The Wiltshires

Mary, my deepest sympathy  to you and your family on passing of you Mom.   May she rest in peace

My deepest condolences to the Haynes and Thomas family  
i will alway remenber that beautiful laugh rest in peace in my dear Ma

My mom was a very loving kind and generous person. She was the doctor in the neighborhood. She was called upon at all hours of the night and she responded to each and every call.
She was a great mother and Grandmother.
She was very helpful. I will miss her very much, but I know that we will meet again in paradise. 
I will miss her smile, her jokes, and her beautiful sense of humor. 
Mom You have gone home to await your resurrection.  I will do my part to meet you there when the time comes.
I love you. 

Dearest Mary - I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your mother Marie, she was a exemplary woman and the true image of a mother who loved her family.  She was a firm believe and led and live a Christian life.  She loved you dearly and always prayed and asked God for his blessings on you for your time and how you took care of her to her dying day.  You are the true image of a daughter who loved and cared for your mother.  I know you will miss her because whenever I saw you she was always at your side so happy with that beautiful smile.   You always had her dressed first class and so did you.  She is gone but will continue to remain in our hearts.  I know the love you had for your mother.  You took excellent care of your father until he departed this earth 13 years ago and now your Mom.  Fine example of the perfect daughter.  There are many blessings coming to you because of Mom and Dad.  I am always here  if you need anything or need a shoulder to cry on.  It is time to turn over a new chapter in your life.  I leave you now with My Sincere Sympathy, the Lord heals the broken hearted and bounds up their wounds and this he will do for you.  May God's grace bring strength, comfort and healing for your broken heart in this time of sorrow.  God Bless, Be 
Strong.  God will carry you through.  I will always be here for you Mary.  Be Proud of the Person That You are and you should.  God Bless.

I was privileged to meet “Doc Thomas” as I fondly called her in 1982 when I told her I was in love with her granddaughter. We became instant friends and she became my greatest ally. 
I got her input in gaining her granddaughters trust and love.  I didn’t make a move unless it first got her stamp of approval.
I will always remember she had a remedy for any all ailments. Thus the “doc” 
Over the years if Cheryl or I came down with a cold, aches or pains the first call was to “Doc” she made it all well. (I miss her) 
She was always encouraging and had a tremendous zeal for life. 
Her heart was large and she embraced everyone with warmth and love.
She was one of the most giving persons I’ve ever met. She shared everything with everyone. 
Her knowledge was far reaching and in her earlier years her memory was at times shaper than mine. 
Way into her 90’s she could dance, even at my sister in laws wedding she lead me on the dance floor 4 years ago.
I will always remember her smile, the warm way she would greet me, the way she make me laugh and the wisdom she shared with me as a young man. This knowledge has made me a better man, husband and father today.
Marie “Doc Thomas” I thank you. I will miss you.  You have enriched our lives.
Ashley.


A light somewhere has dimmed.
A star tonight  is less bright.
A piano somewhere is suddenly out of tune
Somewhere, someone sits waiting in a empty room.
A song that was once popular now only sung by request.
The notes somehow don’t connect. 
The fabric once so vibrant has faded 
The stitches once tight are  now frayed.
The patches have fallen apart as Is the place in my heart. 

No more will there be a soft chuckle, a winkle and gleam of a eye.
A coy but meaningful directive given without hidden intent.
Deep and insightful instruction 
That inspired growth and inner strength.

Gran you molded and shaped me into the women I stand today 
No blessing could ever be more meaningful as the blessing of  having you in my life. your smiles laughter kisses and hugs. 

For those of us who are blessed to have shared you. 
For all of us who’s lives you have touched, 
I can stand today in confidence and say 
“Ma T” we love you so much.

My heart is broken in pieces I have asked God help to repair 
For only he can show  me how to put back together the life I’ve been privileged to have shared. You taught me that with “God nothing is impossible” so I call on him today. 

We are all blessed with memories, God gift to us all. Ahead there will  be days when we feel lost and all alone, but if we listen carefully, we will hear the subtle sounds of whispers of the name we all hold dear 
The name Marie Thomas will show up everywhere.
I love you Gran.

My Dear Friend, Mary,
I remember the first time I met your mother.  When I tried to address her as “Mrs. Thomas”, she smiled, took my hand and said, “I’m Marie”.  If I had to describe your mother in one word, that word would be “lovely”.  She was a woman lovely in all aspects:  her personality, stature, fashion, sense of humor, kindness, and most of all, her love for you and her family.  May the love and devotion you and your mom shared give you comfort, fond memories and a smile; and may God bless you and your family.

My grandma (Brown Girl) was the coolest grandmother ever. I could talk to her about anything and if I had an issue, she always had wise advice for me that always worked. I will miss her interesting stories where she would talk about her life from childhood to adulthood and I would use my imagination to create the scene in my head....lol. I will miss her voice, her laugh, her humor, her concern and her love. I am blessed to have her in my life (now in spirit and memory) and am happy knowing that she is now singing (and dancing 😊) with the angels. 

I first met Marie and her late husband Fred way back in Far Rockaway, Queens, New York in 1989, and we immediately developed a lasting friendship.

 Marie was always bubbling with energy and enjoyed a good laugh. She treated me like her son, and was always available to her family at short notice.  I respected her and the family throughout the years to the end. 

We have shared so many great memories along the way, and I will cherish them for as long as I live. Marie always had a suggestion or the solution to your problems or issues, and I valued her immense opinions without question.

Marie was a kind, caring, loving and compassionate person, who provided everyone around her the best in life, and the best years of her life, and she enjoyed life to the fullest.
 In short,  she was a people's person, the life of the party and the family, and  will be sorely missed by all who knew her.

I pray that God will grant her a place in his eternal kingdom. May she rest in peace and rise in glory.   

My grandmother always did everything to take care of me and my brother. I remember all the days growing up coming home from school and she always had a themed meal based on the days of the week for us to eat. She always made sure we could smell the aroma coming in to the house before we even put our bags down. She always checked on our well being regardless of what we portrayed it to be, which was a comforting thing to have especially growing up. She always was there, along with my grandad if my mom had to work late or the weather prevented her from immediately returning home. She always knew how to make you laugh, or be able to pull a heartstrings at a moments notice, she was too cherished not to. She was always putting everything in God's hands, and using hers to do it for you if she could. She was patient, understanding and relentlessly helping me and my brother be groomed and raised in order to become successful men and I thank God I had her to help us do exactly that.

Dearest Mary,

I am one of the fortunate ones to have met your beautiful Mother. She was a wonderful lady!!!

While there is really nothing I can say to make the pain go away, please know that you have a whole team of people thinking of you and praying for healing for your family.

Keep those good memories close, they will certainly bring comfort.

Your friend,

Mike

One of my favorite memories that I have with my grandma was the fact that each and every single day once my brother and I got dropped off from school, she had a dinner cooked and ready for us knowing we loved her food more than anything. Each day of the week was a different meal but the most exciting day was of course Fridays because she would make a meal almost like desert called chocolate soup. I've never had hot cocoa and dumplings together so it was an experience that I could never forget. Having someone prepare a meal for you consistently for years is only one example of how much love a woman like my grandmother had for her children. 

My name is H from New Jersey,a very close friend of Mary.l first met Mom as I called her  in  the late 1990s at her residence in Palm Bay. On seeing each other and after chatting a little l felt an immediate connection,which blossomed into a wonderful friendship until her passing. 
Mom was a loving,caring,charitable and compassionate person. In short she was a peoples person who will be sorely missed by all who knew her. 
May God watch over Mary and her family at this difficult time. 
I pray that God will grant her a place in his eternal kingdom. May Mom rest in peace and rise in glory. 
Truly H.

Marie Thomas on November 24th you took your last breath at 4:15 p.m. you will always be missed, and always be loved. I met you many years ago in Walmart we bumped into each other's cart and we chatted for about an hour,  you introduced me to your daughter and I can truly say the rest has been history. We have developed a family bond that is inseparable thank you (Mommy) for your love, your kindness, and your constant prayers for me and my family. Most of all for telling me that I am going to be blessed for taking such care of my late mother,  who has passed on 6 years ago, also telling me that one good day I will be blessed with a wonderful man, and I thank you for all those blessings that you have passed on to me. All the beautiful memories you left behind. I will constantly remember you.😘

Hi I’m Elizabeth Cupid also known as Patsy I live in New York and I am Mary‘s friend. I met Mary‘s mom in 1995, when my mom relocated to Palm Bay Florida. I fell in love with her spunkiness and the easy way of her making  you smile. She was a beautiful soul and I loved chatting with her. It’s a blessing to have such longevity and make your Ancestral transition in such a peaceful way. Sending abundant love and light to Mary and family.🙏🏽❤️

Mom - On November 24, 2021 at 4:15 p.m. you gave your last breath, I kissed you on the mouth and I could not hold back the tears, it really hurt but loved the fact that I was there in the beginning and the end.   I realized that I lost a major part of me, my mother, my best friend and confidant.  Even though it hurts and I hated to see you go, God welcomed you into his arms with more love than you could have received here on earth, he has another angel to love on.  I thanked you daily for the way you raised me and I would not depart from my upbringing, it was a joy and I was proud to call you Mom.  You were my world and still is, I have so many great memories of us together we were inseparable.
Mom I will always hold you close to my heart and there you will remain, to walk and guide me through my life until we meet again.  Love You Bunches which I told you every day, I will miss you immensely.  Rest in Peace Mom.  God Speed.
Your Loving Daughter Mary Haynes
