To Marion Family,
We were so sorry to hear about Marion's death. We enjoy seeing her when we came to Richmond to visit Mimi (Mildred), and her visits to Newport News and Yorktown. We could tell she was loved by her family and friends. I know she will be greatly missed. With our deepest sympathy.

Page & Carol,
My mom will miss your mother so much. Not only was she a close friend, but someone she could depend on and was always there with her support and help. I too will miss her special smile and concern for other people. She is gone, but will always be remembered.
