I am so sorry to hear of Marie's passing. I went to school with Marie at St. Joseph's School and at Newman Jr. High. We played together as young children in the early grades. I have not seen Marie for many years; I did see Renee when she was working in Boston years ago. I found out about Marie's death from the Needham High School class of 1970 reunion. There is a class photo from St. Joseph's School posted there http://www.needham70.com/class_custom2.cfm and Marie is in that photo in the bottom row. Well, I am very sorry for your loss and so sorry that Marie died so young.

Dear Anne
I am still stunned by Marie's passing and cannot imagine the pain and loss you must feel. She sparkled in your presence and I thank you and all our spiritual guides for leading you to her. I miss her very much. She was the voice of my past, the keeper of all our travels and dreams as young women. I will always feel sad that she was unable to keep our date at Foxwoods last winter. It would have been the last time I enjoyed her company, her laugh.
I think of her and you every day. I still cannot comprehend why she left us so soon. Please know the love and compassion I feel for you even though we are separated by so many miles. I do hope to see you soon. All my love, peace and comfort, Cathy (& Susan) Boston, MA.
