Marion,
I worked with your Mom at the bank. She was a wonderful lady. Always positive. As a young girl I also remember you Mom & Day coming into church (Methodist Church) they sat right next to my family. So sorry to read about your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Marion, Please accept my sympathy in the loss of your mother. Though I have not seen either of you in many years, I remember you as a tiny girl with your Mom--both of you supporting your Dad as he led the MYF at Central church in Honesdale. Your parents were both special people.
