God saw that she was getting tired, A cure was not to be. So he put His arms around her and whispered, "Come with Me." A golden heart stopped beating. Hard working hands to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes "the best."

I wish I could find the right words to express my sorrow for all of Marion's family. Although I have a lot of memories of her, I think the one that sticks in my mind is really my mother''s. They worked together at GE for many years. One day last spring as Bruce and Jean were leaving from a visit with her, my mom said, say hi to your mom and tell her that we need to go for a walk and get some ice cream like we always did on break. My thoughts will be with all of you, especially over the next few days.
With love Alicia
