I was completely shocked to hear the news about Marie. Your family has been in my prayers ever since. Oh What a loss. It was a great blessing to work with her at Dr. Neese' office for so many years. I considered her a treasured friend. A friend that God places in our path so we can learn from them and that is exactly what I did from Marie. I can remember how every single time she talked with you or the kids on the telephone or saw you in person she always said "I LOVE YOU" growing up in a family that didn't verbally say this, I found it unusual. When I asked her about this, she told me"treasure every minute you have with your family and make sure they know exactly how you feel" I told her that day, when I have children, I want to be just like you- My heart aches for your family, we have loss a great friend, but God has gained another precious angel!!!!
With sympathy,

Dear Wayne, Chris, Holly and Brian,
I am so sorry to hear about Marie's passing. I was so shocked to hear. Marie was my " Mom away from home" when we worked together for Dr Neese. I was so young and far away from home and she always made me feel close to home in a sense. I admired her so much and learned so much from her. I went to her for advice and could always count on the truth whether I liked it or not! :) She talked about all of you all the time...you were the people she cherished. I remember even now 20 plus years later. We lost contact several years ago and I always regretted that. I have thought her many times in my life after I moved from Virginia.
I pray for you all and hope your hearts will be lifted a bit knowing so many people loved her...I'm one of them

To Marie's family,
Much sadness I feel to read of Marie's death. It has been over 48 years since I last saw her at Manchester High, where the two of us were students. (I was a year ahead of Marie). I remember her gentle spirit and pretty smile. So sorry for your loss. Bonnie Brinckerhoff Morse
