Re: madubois(Mary Ann) Is An Angel Now
 

I admired her so much. I loved that "rock chick" side of her. I am sorry, Liz, for the loss of your great friend. Her posts were so full of life, and I guess I felt she could beat all her troubles. This is a shock. I wish I had met her in person.

Re: madubois(Mary Ann) Is An Angel Now
 

Like all I am saddened to lose yet another fighting her2 sister. I loved her updates and stories.

Re: madubois(Mary Ann) Is An Angel Now
 

Oh my God. This just stuns me. There was something so special about Mary Ann, I figured she could beat anything, she was so strong and such a warrior. I first "talked" to her on a thread when I just got diagnosed. After hearing everything she had been thru and still had such a wonderful, hope filled attitude, she gave me hope. I will never forget her for that. Such a beautiful, loving soul. God speed my dear friend, you will be missed greatly.

I could'nt believe what my eye's were reading when I logged in just now. I'm so shocked, sad and in total disbelief this beautiful strong lady is gone from us:(
Like everyone has already said, I too was a great admirer of Maryann and I think she instilled so much of her own fighting self into all of us and continually gave us hope.
I loved reading her updates that were so detailed, and recall despite her own trials she tried her best to help me get a dvd of the film on the making of herceptin which was'nt available here.
I can't take in the fact I will no longer see those updates from her and my heart is heavy.
My deepest condolence's to Liz and Maryann's family.
Rest well Maryann xx

I, too, admired her strength and spirit and determination. Liz, you and Mary Ann and her family are in my thoughts. She was so very lucky to have a friend like you.

Liz, as you see you were not the only one touched by Mary ann. I will forever remember her "never give up" attitude.

Yesterday when I first read this, I was very sad. Today I saw your comments, and find myself smiling as I read "she always wanted to go to Europe". And knowing she, once again, will get her way! Thanks, Liz.

Re: madubois(Mary Ann) Is An Angel Now
 

These last few months have been too much to bare. My heart grieves with all these wonderful men and women that have been taken too soon.

I have to make a correction on the title of this post and many of the other posts: they are not Angel's now, they were Angels while they were here on earth. Each one of these wonderful people were so much incouragment to me and to many others. They all will be greatly missed.

Liz, you and Mary Ann were truely blessed to have such a great friendship. I am deeply sorry for your loss.

I just came to the site after taking a few days off and
my mouth dropped open. What a fighter she was and
an inspiration for all. What sadness there has been of
late. Resilience of spirit is what we all need to make
it through these times. Hugs to all and take care.
Prayers for the family and loving thoughts.

selfless beauty and grace... I will miss you MaryAnne!

Re: madubois(Mary Ann) Is An Angel Now
 

So very sad to read this news. "Madame" Dubois... what a true lady she was to us and she certainly was our special lady on this board. May God rest her soul. And God, please send a break our way. Ceesun

Re: madubois(Mary Ann) Is An Angel Now
 

I just logged on and am totally shocked and saddened by this news. Mary Ann was such an inspiration to me, and that really does not say how uplifting she was, and the hope that she radiated. She went through so much and fought so hard to be there and to be the greatest mom for her children. My heart goes out to them. I will never forget her.
My thoughts are with her children, family, and friends.

Such very sad news about Mary Ann. Thank you to everyone for your beautiful posts and, Christine, thanks for the wonderful photos. It was wonderful to see Mary Ann surrounded by friends and "that guy".
Best wishes for all,
Karen

Re: madubois(Mary Ann) Is An Angel Now
 

Like everyone else, I am shocked and so sad. I felt like I knew her. And she just seemed so invincible...

Re: madubois(Mary Ann) Is An Angel Now
 

I was so shocked and saddened to see the post. Maduboise was a constant source of inspiration as it appeared that as long as you had a fighting spirit you could win the war.

I am so happy that she was able to get her son and daughter into college and onto the beginning of their adult life. I grieve that she did not have a chance to be here to continue to bask in the joy her children provided.

May you soar above the pain and worry.

Love, Lori

I am so sorry. She was so much a part of this board. So many thoughtful, wonderful women (and men gone).

Re: madubois(Mary Ann) Is An Angel Now
 

Oh no... I cannot believe this. I am so very sas to read this.

I will miss her stories. I loved to read her adventures and lived a little bit through them. She had a wonderful knack for writing her stories.

Liz, you are a precious person. What a wonderful friend you are. My heart is aching for you and MaryAnn's family.

Thank you Lord for MaryAnn and the gift she was to all of us.
