Dear Betsy and Family,
You have lost a Mother and I have lost a loving friend. Marion and I shared so many joyful times together. We met at a bridge game and we both knew we were destined to become good friends. We laughed together, cried together, shared stories and became more like sisters than friends.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Please call me if I can lend you a shoulder to weep on or if you just need to talk.

We are so saddened by the news of Marion's passing... You know how much she meant to us. She was such a good friend and neighbor to us while we were lilving in Va.Beach and i will treasure all the times we shared with her. Over the last three years we have thought of her so often but due to my health problems have not been able to get back up there for a visit. i will always regret this and wish I could have seen her one mor time.... She was so much a part of our lives during our time there and considered her like family..We shared many moments and thoughts together and as i go back and remember them I am deeply moved... Please know that our love and prayers are with you all at this time and we would love to hear from you and talk..... All our love and condolences, Jane and David Colquitt, Raleigh,N.C.
