I just found out about Marion's passing. I haven't been at church for a few weeks. I knew curt and Marion my whole life from second Congregational church. They were a great pair! Now they are together again. I remember Marion playing piano for the old variety shows and curt baking his cookies for the fair. Fond memories of them will always make me smile! My condolences to your whole family. Marion lived a good life!

I had the great pleasure of spending many days with Marion at her sisters bedside, I was one of Helen's aides. During that time Marion shared some loving memories of her family. Marion was a very nice lady to get to know, and I know she will be greatly missed. It was my great pleasure to have met her. My deepest sympathy to her family.

Marion was possibly the nicest woman I have ever known. I loved the time I lived with her and Curt and all our great conversations. During my last visit with her, as usual, she spoke with love and pride of all her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. I know you will all miss her very much, and so will I.
