WELCOME TO MALERIE'S WORLD

Mom Cindy~Malerie~Abbey

Abbey from England is here in the states on a tour to raise money for an organization for the blind. She was scheduled to be at Cooks Childrens hospital and she wanted to meet Cindy and Malerie and visit with them.

Malerie went home to be with the Lord
Thurs Aug 14th at 8:45.
She was 13 years old
Family is hoping for the funeral to be at 10am Tues morning at Emanuel Baptist Church in Odessa, Tx





Maleries service was so comforting. God told that minister just what to say. This will be long cause I want to tell you about it. He told of funny things Malerie had done in her life that had us laughing and picturing her doing these things. Like when she was fishing although she hated to fish and put two poles out and just fooled around cause she really hated fishing. Got her feet tangled in both lines and caught the biggest two catfish of the day. Another time, she caught a fish and wanted to keep it. Said it was her pet. She made them drive 25 minutes across the lake to get the camera to take her pic with her pet and she gave it mouth to mouth to keep it alive. He told how close Rusty and Malerie were and how they hugged and said I love you each morning when they woke. How she looked up to her sister Keesha. He used her Bible to give the message. Read things she had written in her Bible. Told of when she gave her heart to the Lord the first day of camp last year. He also tried to reach the lost with his message. I told him that he just gave such a magnificent message. I was so impressed with him. Now I want to write out the poems they had written on her what do you call it? Eulogy? That little pamplet that the family makes up for the ones at the funeral. I want to encourage you that the family is doing as well as can be expected. I believe God has truly given them peace. I really do. As I said the coming months are going to be so very hard but I believe with my heart that God is helping Cindy and Barbara especially make it through this and with accepting this loss. I love you and I thought you might even want to put this on Mal's site you made for her. Okay heres the poems and I'll be sending this to everyone, Franni
God Saw You
God saw you getting tired
and a cure was not to be
So he put his arms around
you and whispered
"Come to me."With tearful eyes
we watched you and saw
you pass away.
And though we love you
dearly, we could not make
you stay. A golden heart
stopped beating, hard working
hands were put to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove
to us He only takes the best.

If You Could See Where I Have Gone
If you could see where I have gone,
the beauty of this place,
and how it feels to know you're home,
to see the Savior's face.
To wake in peace and know no fear,
just joy beyond compare.
While still on earth, you miss me yet,
you wouldn't want me there.
If you could see where I have gone,
had made the trip with me,
you'd know I didn't go alone.
The Savior came with me.
When I woke, He was by my side
and reached out his hand,
Said "Hurry child you're coming home
to a grand and glorious land.
Don't worry over those you love
for I'm not just with you,
and don't you know, with you at home,
they'll long to be here too."
If you could see where I have gone
and see what I have been shown,
you'd never know another tear
or ever feel alone.
You'd marvel at the care of God
His hand on every life
and realize he really cares
and bears with us each strife.
And that he weeps when one is lost.
His heart is filled with pain,
but oh the joy when one comes home,
a child is home again.
If you could see where I have gone,
could stay awhile with me,
could share the things that God has made
to grace eternity.
But no, you could never leave
once Heaven's joy you'd known,
You couldn't bear to walk earths paths
once Heaven was your home.
If you could see where I have gone
you'd know we will meet someday
and though I'm parted from you now,
that I am just away.
So thank you family, thank you friends
for living for the Lord.
For teaching me to love him,
to trust Him and His word.
And now that I'm at home with him
secure in every way,
I'm waiting here at Heaven's door
to greet you some sweet day.

Today is Thursday and I am finally feeling much better. PRAISE GOD! I hate not being able to be with Mal. I felt better yesterday but not still not normal, so Patty told me to stay here. I was getting ready to go to bed, had been outside talking to Sandy here at the RM House and came in call and check on Mal. When I came in the phone was blinking with a message. There were 4 of them and all from Mal, she was just crying so hard that it scared me. I only listened to one of them and called her. She was crying so hard that I couldn't even talk to her. I just hung up the phone and went straight over. When I got there she was screaming with her legs and back. Made me think of when she had the viral meningitis. The nurse had heat packs and she hit the morphine button about 4 times. I just sat there and rubbed her back and legs with bengay. She would get comfortable and then just start screaming again. The nurse called the doctor and upped her morphine doses and gave hers a shot of steroids to stop the inflammation. It finally eased up and Patty came back. She walked in and felt awful. She said that she thought everything was going to be OK and she went down for a break. She started talking to somebody that didn't have any money and was no place to stay and hungry...... you know the rest. It is so sad. Anyway I told her that I wasn't going to leave and that she should, then the nurse told me that I had to leave because it hadn't been 24 hrs free of symptoms. I didn't want to but...... This morning Patty called and told me that Mal had a restless night and she rubbed her legs and back for quite a while. When they called this morning, Patty was so excited, Mal's white count was 600 this morning. I am so happy. I haven't talked to the doctor's yet, but I don't think they expected her white count to come up this quick. I can't wait to talk to the doctor.
I am going to go back to the hospital sometime today. I can't stand not being over there.

Well, I will write again later.

God Bless

Cindy
