I enjoyed working with Marie at Roses Dept. Store years ago. I was in High School and just started to work and she was a big help to me and looked after me there. I will miss her.

Marie and Gordon were family friends since I was a child. My mother, sister, and I enjoyed many good times with them. They always made me laugh, and I considered them a part of my family. I miss them dearly but have very special and loving memories in my heart. May God comfort you with His peace.

Dear Marie Graham Family,
I have enjoyed knowing Marie for many years. She was a joy. She did babysitting for my husband's family. In latter years she and I went to church together. We shared many memories of by gone days. I loved her dearly.
You all are in my thoughts and prayers during this great loss.
Sincerely,
Freda Conner
