WELCOME TO MARY HELEN'S MEMORIAL

FEB. 21, 1983 to SEP. 25, 1991

MARY AND HER BEST FRIEND KRYSTAL IN THEIR LAST CHRISTMAS PARADE TOGETHER, DEC. 1990, Mary age 7, as an Angel at her last Christmas Parade at school. This was Mary's last Christmas on earth in 1990

Hi,I'm Karen, Mary's mother. Thank You for visiting my Memorial that I created for the love of my Mary Helen. My personal relationship with Jesus Christ offers me the comfort, peace and strength to go on daily. I am further blessed to know with certainty that my Mary, based on her personal decision to invite Jesus into her heart at a very young age, now resides in Heaven with her Heavenly Father. With Christ, and with the knowledge of where Mary is now, I have the hope and I can look forward to the promise of a joyous family reunion. Each day that passes is a day closer to that reunion. God is our rock, even on days when it feels like the storm of life will sweep us away, hold on, God will see you thru as He will hold your hand or carry you, as well as calm the storm within you, as He says PEACE, BE STILL!!! I am grateful everyday, as I know Christ and have a strong personal relationship with HIM. I cannot bare the thought of even trying to live sanely without my faith and relationship with my Savior Jesus Christ.

This Web Page is created in LOVING MEMORY OF MARY HELEN, my beloved daughter, the joy she gave me is so precious to me and will be forever.

I hope you are inspired by God as you read about Mary and feel the Love of God, as GOD IS LOVE. My one and only child, Mary, lived a short life here on this earth. She lived life to the fullest, full of love for God and others.

Mary parted this life, to go back to her home in Heaven, when we were involved in an auto accident, while on a school field trip. One of her classmates, Andrea, also parted with Mary. Neither one of the girls suffered, they were taken immediately to GOD. Thank GOD they did not suffer one second! By the GRACE of GOD, in keeping Mary's memories of her life with me here on this earth and my strong relationship with Jesus Christ, I go forward in life to the fullest, ONE DAY AT A TIME, as God directs me. It has been 14 years now since Mary went home to be with our LORD. Each day I count my blessings of having had the pleasure of being her Mother. GOD loaned Mary to me to be a blessing and help me grow in my life and continues to be a blessing in helping me grow daily. Mary said she wanted, when she grew up, to be a Missionary or a Christian School Teacher. Little did I realize that she was a Missionary and a teacher already. Helping her friend with her school work, that she grew up with that lived next to her. Also spreading the Gospel as she shared Jesus with people that wouldn't listen to adults talk about God, but they'd listen to her. One that I know of personally as I worked in the homes of disabled and elderly people and one of my clients was a 90 year old blind man and I took Mary with me and she'd tell him about Jesus and how Jesus loved him and she did too!! She'd tell him what she learned in Sunday School and he'd listen intensely to her. Mary and I adopted him, he was Grandpa to her, as her Grandpa (my Father) she didn't get to see very often because of the 2000 miles that we were apart.

Both Mary and Andrea were 8 years old and in the third grade in a private Christian School.

Mary loved the Lord with all of her heart. She always showed it in her actions. She seemed to glow with the love of God. She was so full of love and joy. Always with a smile, laughing and ready to give you a hug. God, do I miss her hugs! But one sweet day we will be reunited, never to part again. I feel so close to her, the closer to God I get in my life, I feel closer to Mary as she is at the Fathers feet in worship.

Mary was loved by everyone she came in contact with. She always befriended the new students at school and the children in Church, making them feel welcome and loved.

Mary had requested to be Baptized just two weeks before she parted. She got her desire four days before she went to be with the Lord, the one she loved and adored.

Mary loved to memorize Bible scripture. Being in a Christian School they were always given a weekly scripture verses to memorize. The following passage was Mary's last scriptures memorized. PSALM 139: 1-18 O LORD YOU HAVE SEARCHED ME AND YOU KNOW ME. YOU KNOW WHEN I SIT AND WHEN I RISE; YOU PERCEIVE MY THOUGHTS FROM AFAR. YOU DISCERN MY GOING OUT AND MY LYING DOWN; YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH ALL MY WAYS. BEFORE A WORD IS ON MY TONGUE YOU KNOW IT COMPLETELY, O LORD. YOU HEM ME IN--BEHIND AND BEFORE; YOU HAVE LAID YOUR HAND UPON ME. SUCH KNOWLEDGE IS TOO WONDERFUL FOR ME, TOO LOFTY FOR ME TO ATTAIN. WHERE CAN I GO FROM YOUR SPIRIT? WHERE CAN I FLEE FROM YOUR PRESENCE? IF I GO UP TO THE HEAVENS, YOU ARE THERE; IF I MAKE MY BED IN THE DEPTHS, YOU ARE THERE. IF I RISE ON THE WINGS OF THE DAWN, IF I SETTLE ON THE FAR SIDE OF THE SEA, EVEN THERE YOUR HAND WILL GUIDE ME, YOUR RIGHT HAND WILL HOLD ME FAST. IF I SAY, "SURELY THE DARKNESS WILL HIDE ME AND THE LIGHT BECOME NIGHT AROUND ME," EVEN THE DARKNESS WILL NOT BE DARK TO YOU; THE NIGHT WILL SHINE LIKE THE DAY, FOR DARKNESS IS AS LIGHT TO YOU. FOR YOU CREATED MY INMOST BEING; YOU KNIT ME TOGETHER IN MY MOTHER'S WOMB. I PRAISE YOU BECAUSE I AM FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE: YOUR WORKS ARE WONDERFUL, I KNOW THAT FULL WELL. MY FRAME WAS NOT HIDDEN FROM YOU WHEN I WAS MADE IN THE SECRET PLACE. WHEN I WAS WOVEN TOGETHER IN THE DEPTHS OF THE EARTH. YOUR EYES SAW MY UNFORMED BODY. ALL THE DAYS ORDAINED FOR ME WERE WRITTEN IN YOUR BOOK BEFORE ONE OF THEM CAME TO BE. HOW PRECIOUS TO ME ARE YOUR THOUGHTS, O GOD! HOW VAST IS THE SUM OF THEM! WERE I TO COUNT THEM, THEY WOULD OUT NUMBER THE GRAINS OF SAND. WHEN I AWAKE, I AM STILL WITH YOU.

MERRY CHRISTMAS IN HEAVEN
