I was saddened to hear of Ree's passing. I remember her as a warm, loving person who had a very strong sense of family - they meant everything to her. May her family be comforted that she now is watching over you all from a better place.

Sandy, Nancy, Jackie and Jimmy,
I am so sorry for your loss. I have so many fond memories of Marie and the many visits I made to Hockeborn Ave with Chip and Berg. She is most definitely in good company, however knowing the warm welcome she received from Bowk and Mario does not always make up for the hole left in your lives. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless you.
