Marjorie Bismark Hetzer

I just have to say that I just can't remember why I was so afraid of flying...it is just awesome! Having been shown my whole life I know that I have said some harsh words to some and was never afraid of speaking my mind. Well, when I look at all of you now it pretty much is like looking in the mirror, a reflection although somewhat veiled, of myself. Your strength, love and commitment to me was everything I could have ever prayed for. The love you demonstrated for me in front of the whole world my last few weeks makes me certain that you will be OK until we meet again. My Dear Husband, my Joe. You know that you are still one hell of a good looking man. You always cared more for me and my wants than you ever did for yourself. You worked hard to provide me anything I could think of and more than I could ever ask for. Your commitment and dedication to me throughout our lives together, especially as I grew weaker, gave me the strength to continue my fight. Although God did not have a healing for me I already received my miracle when He gave me you. Our love will last from when we first touched until the end of time itself. I know we will be reunited in Heaven so I remain your "Ruby" until that moment comes. I Love you Joseph William Hetzer and I am still proud to be called your wife. Now kids... you of all people know that I am not the "warm and fuzzy" kind. I wish I could have been. Understand, though, when I watch you all and the people that you have become, we have to wonder if God turned my weaknesses into your strengths. Joey, Chris, Gerry Lynn, Lori and Sarah Beth are perfect names for each of you. You could not have made me prouder as a Mom as we all aged together. I saw each one of you show your strengths and caring with me and with each other. Love is real and you all are perfect in your love. Don't be in a rush to meet me as I can wait here for you. Its kinda nice here and a little peace and quiet from drama will do us all good. I love you all equally my children, and that is true and forever. My grandkids, when I look out at all of you, Kristy, Sean, Derik, Samuel, Bobby, Jenny, Joshua, Amber, Ansleigh, Jeremy, Martin, Mason, Samantha, Kealy, little Kari, Jessie and Scarlett (bet u thought I would forget one of you huh?) all I can see now is how truly multi-talented and gifted you are. Each in your own way. All is see are flashes of color and laughter and LOVE! I don't know what I did to deserve each of you but I am so very happy to have shared some great times and life with you. Jeremy that great grandchild you helped with is just so perfect she almost makes me cry. Try to embrace forgiveness for all and Never stop expressing yourself and trying to learn. Be a lifelong learner for me. Finally, learn to quit smoking for me too! As far as the men and woman who have shared life and love with my children I thank and Love you all. You have completed them and I truly hope they continue to show you the love and respect you deserve. Love like my husband showed for me. Lisa, Tommy, Rich, Jillian, Margaret and Greg are where I will end my list because unfortunately the list has quite a few edits to it...say no more! I know what you have done for my kids and I know what you have done for me so do not get fatigued but continue in your support of each other. It is the single greatest thing a person can do is consider others more important than themselves. ps Margaret- I got to spend some time with Violet before you even meet her. You are in for a handful let me tell you, LOL! So think kindly of me when you remember me. I am an imperfect woman who tried to love you all perfectly. I will miss each of you and wait for you here. Then we can all be together again and have HUGE family dinners and Playdoh Parties! Continue Loving each other and living for each other until I see you again...
