To The McKinstry Family,
I am so sorry to learn of Marion's passing. She was such a special person and so good to the children of Columbus Circle so many years ago. I feel priviledged to have known her.

Uncle Buck, Ray, Guy & families,

I am so very sorry to hear of Aunt Marions death. I wish we had not lost touch, so my children could have met Aunt Marion too. It sounds like she was a wonderful, caring woman.

In this time of sorrow, may all of you find peace knowing she's at peace now.
