To the Family of Marian Mae,
While we personally never had the pleasure of meeting your Mom, we do know your Dad, Don. He has been our contractor on several home remodels and we had the great fun of getting to know him over the years.
After talking about plumbing and electrical, conversation would invariably turn to family, and he always smiled and laughed when talking about his wife and daughters.
He talked about his wife as a woman that had a kind, generous heart and a warm, cheerful spirit.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Don and his family during this time of loss and may those wonderful memories of Marian bring you all comfort and peace in the days ahead..
