Mr. Jacobs, Jay, Lynne, Lourie, Dianne, Marybeth and Jaynne:

Marion was a very good friend to my parents and extremely kind to my brothers and sisters and me. We always felt comfortable in your home. I will never forget the effort she made to attend my Dad’s service.

Marion set an excellent example for all of us to follow and that is the ultimate legacy. I know you will miss her but you can take comfort in knowing that she is in a better place.

Love,
John Lawler and Family.
