We are all better people from knowing Marian!! I'll never forget how happy my mom would be when she got a letter from Marian bragging about her boys and then mom would write back bragging about her boys. Four tall and skinny boys, those were the days!! I'll never forget all those late birthday cards with the two dollars, but you never missed a birthday!! To Dan and Scott, and their families, we share your heavy hearts! Love Terri, Collin, and Glenn

I can almost hear the singing and dancing going on in Heaven upon Marian's arrival. Les and so many family members there to greet her.
Our Mama Marie is giggling with delight. We say goodbye, and they say hello!
Thank you for sharing all of these beautiful photos. I will look and see what treasures I can find.
I know you are basking in the comfort of the Lord, and the love of each other. See you all soon! Hugs, Molly
