Marion was a colleague of mine at the Richer School and she had my daughter, Andrea, in the second grade. She was always smiling and caring. My kids called her Mrs.Lovely. Marion always challenged the kids and she was a favorite teacher to many children. She was the best!

Pam: I was on the internet trying to locate old classmates from Medford High '54 and came across your Mom's obituary.
I didn't know she had passed away. Please accept my deepest sympathy for your loss.
I had the pleasure of greeting her at our 50th reunion.

Mom,
I miss you more than you can imagine. I am lost without our phone calls to share everything that we shared throughout my life. Even more, I miss seeing you, tucking you in with that red fleece blanket that is with you., (Sam's), holding your hand, and giving you a hug and kiss goodnight. I love you so much and wish you were still here with me. You are the best mom in the world. I listen to our cd often. I hope that you are in a wonderful place and I know you are watching over us!
I love you so much and miss you even more. Thanks for being my mom and spending the last 2 1/2 weeks of your life with me. It was an honor and I am lucky to have been able to do that.
Love your daughter,
Pam

I had taught with Marion at the Richer School In Marlboro for many years. She was a patient, loving, soft-spoken, and kind teacher and colleague. My 24 year old daughter, Andrea had your Mother in the second grade. She called her "Mrs. Lovely" at home. Marion always gave the children sweet prizes. She often spoke with pride about her children and grandchildren.
I am very sorry. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Sincerely,
Donna Cunningham

Dear Pammy and David,
I read with great sadness of your mom's passing. I have been living in Florida for the past 17 years and had lost touch with her. Your mom was one of the kindest and loving friends I have known. She was always willing to listen and always ready to share a hug. I will always remember the wonderful times our families shared.
My thoughts are with you,
Love,
Barry
