Maggie's Wings Poem Called to Earth 09-09-59; Called to Heaven 02-03-02; Called to Flight 07-20-03 (commemorates the first Dragon Boat Races held in Windsor, Ontario)
You lost your hair, but not your beauty They took a breast but not your heart
They tried to cure you from the inside out Surviving this struggle became a doubt
The angels gathered around your bed They swooped and danced around your head
They whispered things only you could hear Finally you smiled and had no fear
You’re every female in this space Blessed with Courage and with Grace
Some live on earth some in another place Never forgotten is the beauty of your face
Your wings are wide and strong and light Your spirit oh so calm and bright
Your presence always felt, though no longer seen In places where you’ve always been
Gently moving wings of white You’re an angel that has taken flight
Maggie's Wings are for every female you know So gather your spirit, embrace a paddle, and Go! Copyright 2007 © darlene j. szecsei-albano All rights reserved

Maggie Szecsei-Toth Sister ‘Mags’ was diagnosed with Stage 2-3 infiltrating ductal carcinoma breast cancer. She underwent radiation, a mastectomy and chemotherapy . Just when she thought her illness was behind her, she developed acute Myelodysplasia ( a pre-leukemia) from her chemotherapy ( a 1 –2% occurrence) . She required a bone marrow transplant for survival (a 1-2% of survival) We felt that although she again fell into the odds that this time it would work in her favour. Mags received a transplant from a gracious unrelated donor. Making it to day 100 post transplant is a positive sign of success and recovery. She died on day 66 post-transplant after 6 days in the ICU surrounded by her family with her favourite music by Enya “Wild Child” playing. The depths by which we miss her are immeasurable- The ways in which we can remember her are endless through our fundraising.
