"I knew I did from that first moment we met. It was... Not love at first sight exactly, but- familiarty. Like: oh, hello, it's you. It's going to be you."

1 Sep 15, 1535hrs, A Paratroopers wife has made the journey to the Great Jumpmaster in the Sky. And Mary V. Strope, was proud to be titled as a 'Paratroopers-Wife'. One often hears people referring to their spouses as 'The better half' well sir, I am here to tell you, Mary was truly my better half, no question. I am at a loss, no one now to be my sounding board, no one now to keep me straight. A true loss, an amazing woman, wife, mother and friend who made an impression wherever she went and on whomever she met. Rest in peace my true friend in life, I love you with all my being.
This is the next to the last page of the last chapter in, "Nothing Lasts Forever" ~ The amazing story of the life and times of simple country girl, 'Crazy Mary' ~~~ Set in the green, rolling hills of N.E. PA. It explores the impact her life made on those she touched and also focuses on the exceptional, and sometimes quirky, people who were forever changed by her mystical aura into which they were drawn.

Oh Mary how you are missed. I'm grateful you are no longer in pain but sad because we have lost you. I know that you were welcomed with open arms into heaven and your Dad, Aunt Fran and Uncle Eddie are surprised you are sitting with them too soon. I loved you Mary and love you still.

Mary, I love you so much and cannot believe you are gone so soon. We still had plans to spend time together. I will treasure forever all my memories and love for you, my baby sister. I hope that you will help Dad to look after Baby Kevin. I know that God has you wrapped in his warmth and love. We will all be together one day, and I hope that will be enough to get us through the rest of our days. I love you and my heart hurts to have you back.
