Marie,
You were always so kind to me. I never saw you without a smile on your face. You had kind words for everyone and I don't think you ever had a negative thought about anything. I'm sad you're no longer here. I know in my heart that you are in a much happier place with all the other angels.

Dear Ree-Ree, Oh my goodness, it has been a year ago today since you left us all, and boy that has been one long year,seems like forever,since you came driving up in your car and came waltzing upto the door with little Angel by your side. Mom takes good care of your precious little girl. I was over and seen her last night,she gets pretty darn lonely,but we are making plans to go see Katie and Ivan.and that will be good for her as we will be going to see her favorite singer in concert in Branson.It has been an awful lonely almost 2 years, losing 5 very close and dear people in our lives that were very much loved.Love you Ree and can't wait till we can all be together again. LOVE YOUR AUNTIE DODE.

Some times it seems like time just stands still and at other times, it quickly flies by so fast. It seem like we were just kids, playing outside and running as fast as we could from Uncle Bill and Grandpa John, so we wouldn't get shocked by the electric fence. We were all young, in good health, and didn't have any cares in the world. Well, I am sure there was those that did have some worries but... now we call them the "good ole days". I am so happy that I have all these great memories of our wonderful family and continue to wish that we could have had more time to be together and enjoy this short time we have on earth with each other.
Marie, I think of you often and reread a card you sent to me after Uncle Bill passed away. I miss you and only wish your stay here on earth wasn't cut so short. The loss of so many loved ones in the past couple of years as been very tough on those of us left behind. I try to visit your Mom as she is struggling with the loss of you & Uncle Bill. Busy life schedules sure get in the way & I don't get to visit as much as I would like. Miss and love you each & everyday. Give Dad a hug & kiss for me!
With Love, Janet

wow, what to say, so much, words cannot convey. I have to say what a inspiration to us all you were. I didnt know you closely, but in my heart you were there, ever since i was a little girl. I was named after you and your sister, what a blessing to be name after two beautiful people. The connection I felt to you, will live with me in my heart forever. God Bless you, and many blessings to the family. Love you, Carolyn Nedrow

Dear Ada, Marie and Billy,
I was so very sorry to hear of Marie's passing. I wish I would have known at the time as I would have been at her funeral. I just recently found out.
I will always remember Marie's smile and flashing eyes! She was definitely an "angel among us". Always so positive and more concerned about everyone else when she was fighting the battle of her life. I know she is an angel in heaven now and she is dancing with her daddy!! You will be missed by all who knew you Marie.

Marie, Oh the fun I remember on the farm. I know my two sister have already talked of this story about how many can fit into a Volkswagen but, we all have our own version...This is how I remembered it… Jack, Betty & the kids (five) were at the farm that day also so with us four kids, you and Billy that was eleven total. I was the youngest which was the best (I must have been five at the time)I got to ride in the back window...where no one could squish me... I remember walking down a path to get to the Lake and vaguely remember driving through the Machias Cemetery. That was just one great Memory of the farm.
I had the great opportunity in high school to watch a surgery that my friend was having on her foot, and since we were in the Medical Explorers at Providence Hospital they allowed me to watch…I remember how shy and fearful I was about going there and being in a room with a bunch of people I didn’t know, and you showed up in the dressing room and helped get some scrubs, cuz you were working on her case that day…My fear went right out the door..And you were so great you explained everything that was going on in the room. At one point I remember you coming to me and asking me if I needed to step outside for a moment and that it was OK to leave the room…oh boy was I glad cuz once the Dr. started doing all that pounding and sawing my knees got weak and my head started spinning…I know that you prevented me from fainting in the OR that day… I also remember questioning myself about is this something I could do. You were right there and encouraged me that this was just a small piece to being a Nurse and that yes I could fulfill my 2nd grade dream of being a Nurse. 24 years later I am so thankful for that, I love my job and you have always been in the back of my mind with the memory of our conversation that day.
I always so admired the picture Gramma Moon had sitting on her piano of you as the Lake Stevens Homecoming Queen and your Princess Court you were so beautiful. But I didn’t really know what beauty was till I got into my teens and seen that you were not just beautiful on the outside but you had a radiance about you that glowed with Love and Caring for not only the human race but your love for living things…
One of our last visits together was just before your 60th Birthday and I remember Janet talking about you reaching another Milestone…and your response about everyday is a new Milestone and that you wake up just happy to be here and enjoying life…what a great inspiration for us all. Even when I talked with you on the phone just a few weeks before you went home to be with your Dad, you were more concerned about how my Dad was doing then with yourself. Oh and the JOY and LOVE in your voice when I congratulated you on your recent marriage to the TRUE LOVE of you life…you told Raelynn and I on that July day of 2004 that if you were ever going to get married again it would only be with your TRUE LOVE RANDY…and that you hoped some day soon that would happen. Your Mom told us you were dancing around singing “I’m the happiest girl in the whole USA” I can just picture you dancing and singing…still up in heaven with your Dad as you got your wish…
You will be so missed by so many It just doesn’t seem fair to be taken from Earth so soon in life… your love for life and your spirit will live on forever in all the lives you have touched through the years
Love and Miss you

Love Lives On
Those we love are never really lost to us--
we feel them in so many special ways--
through friends they always cared about
and dreams they left behind,
in beauty that they added to our days...
in words of wisdom we still carry with us
and memories that never will be gone...
Those we love
are never really lost to us--
for everywhere their special love lives on.
~ Amanda Bradley ~
Fill not your hearts with pain and sorrow,
But remember me in every tomorrow.
Remember the joy and the laughter and the smiles.
I’ve only gone to rest a little while.
Although my leaving causes pain and Grief,
my going has eased my hurt and given me relief.
So dry your eyes and remember me, not as I am now,
but as I used to be.
Because, I will remember you all and Look on with a smile.
Understand in your hearts,
I’ve only gone to rest a while.
As long as I have the love of each of you,
I can live my life in the hearts Of all of you

Marie
An angel on earth, that God sent down among us, but now he has taken her back, and way too soon, I wonder if he had plans for her. Such a beauty, through and through, from the inside out her personality just couldn’t be beat. All through her courageous years with that dreadful cancer that finally overcome her, she never was one to do any complaining, always said, “Oh I’m fine”. It sure isn’t going to be the same without her around, at all the different gatherings at her moms, when she and her little dog, “Angel” would come driving up, always so happy with a smile on her face.
I remember when she was very tiny like about 3 weeks old and living in Chico, California and we moved there for a short time when brother Bill was in the armed forces, and we were living temporarily in an old school bus converted to an R.V. parked in front of their house, and Ada had put Marie in the crib and went to the laundry room and Marie was crying and little David who at the time was almost 4 years old, heard her crying, went in and took her out of her crib and out the door and into our bus to mom, and mom yelled at him for taking her out of the crib, and he said “But Jennie she was crying and crying. Soon after that David passed away from a sudden illness, but I have never forgotten about that time. So happy I was to hear that she and Randy had gotten married, as I heard how happy it made her last days on earth. As she always said he was her only True Love. So she got her last dying wish. GOD BLESS HER!!!!! Ray always told everyone,” She reminds me of a Barbie Doll, and that she was…We would like to give our condolences to Ada, Donna, Don, Bill, Brenda, all her nieces and nephews, and also especially to Randy, who was always in her Heart even though he was far away. Gone but never ever forgotten, always in our hearts.
Loving thoughts and prayers
Aunt Dode and uncle Ray.

I remember when I asked my mom (Janet Moo (canell)) why my mom gave me the middle name, Marie And I remember her telling me about her cousin that was very special to her. It wasn't until I met Marie that I knew why my mom thought that she should name me after her. Marie is such a beautiful and unique lady. It was amazing to me to see how courageous and strong she was with her battle with cancer. Every time I saw her she was always smiling. You are and awesome lady, Marie...until we meet again.....

Our deepest sympathies to Auntie Ada and family.Our thought's and prayers are with you.We had the pleasure of spending quality time with Marie on our move from Alaska to Oklahoma a little over a year ago.We took time to stop and have dinner at her beautiful home and she even baked us chocolate chip cookies.What a positive person she was with her fight against cancer and was definitely an inspiration to me.I feel so blessed to have spent those few hours with her.

I remember always seeing Marie as a little girl and telling my mom how beautiful she was, I truly admired her and wanted to be just like her. As I got to know her I realized that she was not only beautiful on the outside but even more so on the inside. She inspired me to not ever put my burdens or sorrows on to others but to rather uplift people's spirits. Even during times when she was not feeling well you could never tell by looking at her, she always truly shined and never wanted a bit of pity from anyone. Her independence, happiness, and lively spirit will always live within me. I will forever look at Marie as the "perfect lady."

Dearest Marie,
It is with a heavy heart that I am writing to you today. I will forever be inspired by your strength during your long fight to beat the cancer and your self- encouragement during the days that were rough. I know that you enjoyed every single day that you were given since finding the cancer seven years ago. A very few months ago, as your “Daddy” (Uncle Bill) laid in his bed with only a few more days left in life, you said something to me that I shall not forget. I quote, “ I use to worry about getting old, now I consider every birthday a blessing and look forward to the next birthday. They are now very precious to me.” As I continue my life on earth, I will always do my best not to worry that I am getting older but to try and enjoy each day as it comes. Thanks to you for that great inspiration!
You not only have a beautiful face but an especially beautiful personality. That is the reason that I named my first born daughter, Tricia “Marie” after you. To know you was to love you!
I will never forget our VW Beetle “Bug” adventure with you when we were all so young. If my memory serves me well, there were eleven of us cousins all stuffed into your “Bug” and you took us to the Lake Stevens cemetery. We all have several wonderful memories of you as we grew up.
I shall miss you but never forget you. My heart goes out to Aunt Ada, your sister, Donna & brother, Bill, as well as your husband, Randy. I am glad that they were all able to be with you in your final days. As I am sure you knew, all of our thoughts and prayers were with you too.
Until we meet again.
Much Love,
Cousin Janet Moo (Canell)

To Marie's family and loved ones, I offer my sincere sympathy. Marie was a classmate and friend at SHS. I have many fond memories of her, especially her nice friendly smile for everyone. She was a very special person and am glad that I had the privilege to know her.

My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of sorrow. Marie was always very special to me. She always had a nice friendly smile on her face, kind words, and her love was always heartfelt. I will always cherish those special times I shared with your family while growing up. One of many memories that has always stuck with me was taking a drive to the cemetary with Jack's kids and us in Maries little Volkswagon. There were eleven of us packed in there like sardines. LOL! What a scarey fun ride that was. She will always have a special place in my heart and I will miss her very much. Love you all very much. Love Rita

I am so sorry to read of Marie's passing. I attended Machias Elementary school with Marie though she was a year ahead of me. I always admired her long hair. She was allowed to wear her hair in barretts and streaming down her back whereas I always had to have mine in braids. Oh how I envied her.
I know she was loved and will be sorely missed. My condolances to the entire family
