In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it's the memories of you that are the most precious.

Dear Gale family,
We will miss your mother's fun bubbly laugh. And she always attracted loving caring people with that laugh. She gave all of you "Roots & Wings", but most of all, she taught all of you to Love one another. My favorite Marian moments were:
Putting up Christmas Trees at the Gale house, Surprise Birthday Parties, Soup Parties in the Fall, Easy Conversations on the front porch, her smile after Kenny & I installed a washer & dryer, hearing a distant laugh at a Flea Market and knowing she was there! I know she left a part of her with all of us and we will keep her spirit alive for a long time. God be with you all.
Love Always,
Mark & Mary Wagner

She was the funniest,sweetest,CUTEST person in the whole world. I would call her on the phone just to tell her my corny jokes.I would say,"Marian Sylvia" and she would say, "Hi my Rosie Rosie", she would know it was me right away on the phone. I will have a big space in my heart just for my memories of her and all the great times we had.I will forever miss her but will see her when the time comes and then we will pick up right where we left off. I love you "Sylvia".

Dearest Friends and Family of Marian, Please accept my sincere heart-filled condolences. My thoughts and prayers are with you! I am praying for you, and asking our Lord to give you strength. May faith drive your passion, to overcome the sadness and hard days that are faced. Remember all the good life has to offer with cherished memories, and know that when we are finally called home with our Father, we are reunited with our loved ones once more. This world is only temporary, and the next is forever. At least that is how I feel, and I hope you do as well.
God Bless,
