A dear an wonderful woman anyone who knew her will never forget. She was the example of Christian living and loving. She impacted my life and I am so thankful for her. She has a legacy far beyond what any of us knows. My heart goes out to the whole family as you now work though this loss and transition.
With much love and care,

Jack and I are so sorry for your loss. Jack has so many memories of time shared at "Auntie" Maries house growing up. Jackie Angeline and Marie were always close friends. A "lifetime" of shared love and companionship. She will be remebered and always remain a part of our hearts.
