Maryann Padgett

My thoughts and prayers are with all your family at this sad time. I knew your mom and dad when I worked for Dr Abadie for about 1year. I constantly talked to your mom and she was a very sweet lady to me. I am sorry to hear of her passing on. Elvira Barrios, Athens,TX

Maryann & John was with my parents the night I was born. They were there to support dad. It was a very long night. They have always been our friends but they moved away to Texas and we had not seen them for a couple of years. When Kim & I got maried 16 years ago, we rented the little house on St Paul in Wichita from Maryann & John until we could buy our own home. They hold a special place in our hearts from the time I was born. She will be missed.

my life’s been full I savored much, Good friends,Good times a loved one’s touch.perhapes my times seemed all to brief, Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief lift up your hearts, and peace to thee- God wantedme now, he sat me free.

When tomorrow starts without me,&I’m not there to see;if the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me;I wishso much you wouldn’t cry the way you did today,While thinking of the many things we didn’t get to say.I know how much you love me,as much as I love you,and each time you think of me,I know you miss me too.But when tomorrow stars without me,please try and understand ,that an angel came and called my name and took me by the hand,And said my place is ready in heaven far above,And that I’d have to leave behind all those I dearly love.But as I turned to walk away,a tear fell from my eye,For all my life I’d alway’s thought I didn’t want to die.I had so much to live for and much yet to do,It seemed almost impossible that I am leaving you.I thought of all the yesterdays,the good one’s and the bad,I thought of all the love we shared and all the fun we had.If I could relive yesterday,I thought just for a while,I’d say goodbye and kiss you and maybe see your smile.But then I fully relised that this could never be.For emptiness and memories would take the place of me.And when I thought of worldly things that I’d miss come tomorrow,I thought of you,And when I did,my heart was filled with sorrow.But whenI walked through heavens gate’s,I felt so much at home.Whengod looked down at smiled at me,from his great golden throne.he said,’this is eternity and all that I’ve promised you,Today your life on earth is past,but here it starts anew.I promise no tomorrow,but today will always last,And since each day’s the same day,there’s no longing for the past.But you have been so faithful,so trusting and so true,Though there were times you did some things you shouldn’t do.But you have been forgiven,and now at last your free.So won’t you take my hand and share my life with me?’So when tomorrow starts without me,don’t think were far apart,For everytime you think of me,Im right here in your heart.

We have been friends with Maryann & John for 44 years and have shared many memories. Good times and bad times we were there for each other. We worked together at Howard Johnsons motel for many years. She was a person we could share anything with. We had a favorite saying when we called each other. It was ‘its me again Margaret. We will miss her!! Alice & Steve

Even though we weren’t blood related grandma, I always thought of you as such and I have always and will always love you for being such an awesome and loving grandmother. I also want to personally thank you for everything you ever did for my parents, my sisters and myself. Even through all of the ups and downs our family had over the years, you were always there for us and always showed us unconditional love. I just wish you would have been able to meet all of your great grandkids (mine and my sister’s kids) so they would’ve known how loving and cool of a grandma that you really were. You will be missed greatly.
