She was my niece and like my second daughter....she grew up with my three children, her cousins. I have always known Deidre was different, unique, and totally DETERMINED. She went after what she wanted with a vengeance. This included sports, marriage and most accomplished AN INCREDIBLE MOMMY. I have grown to know even more amazing things about my love, Deidre. God is waiting with open arms, of that I a certain. Until we meet again Dee...May God lift this heaviness from my heart. We will support your Mom, Nathan , kade and Daxx. Rest peacefully sweetie xoxoxo

Story shared: Kindness Amongst Bullies

Mon, 09 Feb 2015 17:13:47 EST

I had never been the popular kid at the all girl's school MaryMount Academy.
I was always shunned, picked on, or bullied because of my height, and frail appearance. Highschool life was tough as it was, and going through it in an all girl's school didn't make it any easier.

I would hang out with the other misfits, or sometimes alone. I always hoped someone would for once show me compassion. Even a little understanding.

Until she came along.

I'll never forget it, and it's my most endearing memory of this person I had never previously met, or would get to know in the future.

It was during math class, and my bullies were at it again. Talking me down as they usually did in their towering amazoness height. I remember being scared, walking to my locker after class was let out, and one of them followed me, harassing me...

Until Deidre stepped in, telling her to back off. I was so grateful for her kindness. If she hadn't interjected, who knows what could have happened.

We were all teens back then, and she was part of what I use to call "the popular group." But she wasn't like the others. She was different.
She wouldn't bully us misfits as the others would. She wouldn't involve herself in making others feeling bad.

Deidre was simply a genuinely nice person, even at that young age.

A year had passed, and I joined the volleyball team. To be honest, I was horrible at volley ball, but I wanted to get involved in extra-cirriculars. Again, another memory of Miss Urso's genuinely kind spirit comes to mind...

I remember practising my volleys, and no one help me. Who wanted to pair up with the shy, reserved, pip-squeak of a kid?

Not even the teachers were sympathic to my timidity.

But she was.

She saw me struggling, came to my side, and showed me,
"No no, Mary. Look--like this," and she taught me how to properly volley the ball. She must've spent a good 15 minutes trying to show me how it was done, and I was more than happy to learn.

I could feel the other classmates looking at me and her, with expressions of "Why are you helping this girl?" But Deidre didn't seem to care. She saw someone needing help, and so she went to help them, regardless of what others were thinking or saying.

That's what I saw, and I was touched.

I was moved.

We were only 17, and when I felt like I was in the wrong place, making a big mistake taking part in this sport--she filled me with a small glimmer of hope. She made me feel like, "Hey...if one of the girls from the popular group thinks I'm worth even a moment of her time to teach...maybe I am in the right place. Maybe I should give it a shot."

She was a sweet girl, a was a very nice person. We never became good friends or anything of the sort, but we didn't have to. I was more than happy with the fact she never judged me, or others. She didn't have to.

Therefore I knew that that was just who she was.

She wasn't the type to pick on the nerds, or unpopular girls.

She just saw us as people who needed a little help, or push from time to time. To give us a good kick in the inspiration, helping us in realizing that just because we may be small in size, we can make up for in heart.

Thank you Deidre for being different from the others.
Thank you for making my experience at MMA Academy a little bit easier, and for giving me those little pushes that I definitely needed.

Thank you for planting the seed of confidence and hope in a trembling 16/17 year old's heart back in 03/04

I owe part of who I am today to your kindess during those days back in MMA.

Rest in Peace.

-Mary

Story shared: Cousins by Blood, Sisters by Heart

Mon, 09 Feb 2015 16:39:17 EST

Born only 8 days apart, that was always our little battle between each other, me being older then you by 8 days. I would always bug you about it and you would always get so worked up. I would always have to sleepover at your house, because you were such a worrier when it came to your mom. Everytime you would come to my house, the sun would set and you would be on the phone with your mom asking her to pick you up. I love that about you....you held your mom so close to your heart....just like you did with everyone else. You had endless love to give. How about when we would watch Grease...and act it out...so funny...loved singing those songs with you! We hold so many memories together from our childhood that I will cherish for a life time. I still don't believe that you are gone, and I don't think I ever will. What will I miss the most? Your hugs...honestly, you gave the best hugs of all. You would squeeze me so tightly, it was the best feeling ever. With every hug, worries and sadness would leave and nothing but calm would come over me. Your smile, so contagious, so bright, so loving. Every picture I see of you with that smile makes me hurt so deeply because I will never see it in person again. We are cousins by blood, but sisters by heart. Rest well beautiful. Give a hug to Gramma, Nana, Rene and Brandy for me. Tell them I love them so much and miss you all too much.
