To the Terry family, you have my deepest sympathy, for the death of your mother. I worked along with Marion at the old Hampton General Hospital. She used to make me laugh a lot with the things she would say. She was very sweet , but she also spoke her mind. I was blessed to know her. Keep your eyes upon Jesus, during this time and He will be with you. My prayers are with you. God bless.

To Ann, Curtis, and Niecey I had the privilege of knowing your mom for a long time. I remember the talks, and words of wisdom that she gave me and I am grateful for that. I pray that family will become even more closer, and will always share the precious memories of your mom. She was special to me, and that was my Aunt Marion (smile). Keep looking to Father God who will strengthen you at this time. I love you all and I will keep you in my prayers.
