Our deepest sympathies to Marion's entire family. I will always treasure my days at the "El" - that's where I grew up. I was always surrounded by wonderful people and Marion was my "Wednesday Aunt" there. I'm sure she will be sadly missed, but please know that her legacy will always live on. I'm sure my mom - Theresa - is there to welcome her to her new kitchen in heaven! I'm sorry I could not make it to the calling hours - but being in the "business" I'm sure you know why I was not able to get away from my duties and pay my respects the way I would have liked. Again, on behalf of my wife, our deepest & heartfelt sympathies.

When God calls his children to dwell with him above, we mortals sometimes question the wisdom of his love. She is at peace and forever rest in the hands of our heavenly Father.
