Dear Teri and Tony,
A kind spirit has left this earth. Marie wrote beautiful letters and never forgot an occasion of any of our children. I will dearly miss the wonderful crocheted dish cloths she faithfully sent. Finally at peace, may you be also, Love, Dan and Marcia

I came to know Marie and Tony as a result of working with Theresa at BRS. Often times Teri and I would visit her parents when I was working in Albany. Always a treat to see them and the warm welcome I received, and no doubt I still carry extra weight at my age as a result of those many visits. Whenever we would receive a greeting card, a birthday wish or other cards from Marie her beautiful handwriting was always memorable was her consistency in never forgetting us. Marie, Tony and Teri will always be remembered in our family. Love to you Teri and Tony from the Robinsons.

Dear Theresa,
Please accept our heartfelt condolences on the loss of your dear mother. Though many years have passed, I still remember what a sweet and kind person she was when we were growing up in West Albany. Blessings to you all. From the DeSimone family

Uncle Tony and Theresa: Aunt Marie's passing is certainly a tragic loss for our family. It was so unexpected. Although she was not looking forward to the therapy sessions, she seemed in good spirits. Our thoughts and prayers are with you both. She was such a well loved woman and she will most certainly be missed. We love you.
Mary, Sal and Family

Mrs. Morell's acts of kindness to my family and myself were endless. Whenever I think about the loss of my parents, I always think of the many things she did to make to our loss endurable - I never see a big pot of vegatable soup without thinking her! I always smile when I walk past a greeting card rack. Mrs. Morelli sent "at least one" card every day the summer I had lung surgery. Teri and Mr. Morelli please know that Mrs. Morelli taught me some valuable lessons about friendship and being a "Mom". Thanks for sharing her with me!

I have so many fond memories of Marie. Many times I stayed overnight on a Sat. and Marie would cook "sauce" and meatballs all night. Theresa and I would get up Sun. morning and have hot meatball sandwiches for breakfast. Marie probably sent more greeting cards than anyone else in the world. Often several either separately or in the same envelope. When my children were born they recieved daily masses. We're not even Catholic. She and Tony babysat my parents house when my Dad died. She was so thoughtful and generous. She'll be sorely missed. Peace Marie.
