I worked with Marie at the telephone company in Malden in the '70's. I was a young (20 something) supervisor. Marie was kind and gracious, with a wonderful sense of humor. I am very fortunate to have known Marie. My sympathy goes to her family.

I think Marie (Mrs. Hanley to me) might have been one of the original hockey moms. I left Emerald St in Edgeworth in 1968, but will always remember how kind Marie was to me. Kathleen, Frank and Mike, I'm sorry for your loss.

Dear Frank, Judy, Brian, Elizabeth and Patrick. I was saddened to hear of your loss of Marie. You don't realize how much time passes or how much we take for granted that we'll all be around forever until we lose someone so special. I know it's been a while, but I have some very fond memories of spending time with your family and Marie was someone who always kept you laughing. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Love, Rose
