So many memories - and so glad I was able to stop and visit with her two years ago. She was sharp as a tack and doing her reading, puzzles and needlepoint. Sure hope I have that much 'togetherness' if I live into my 90's. Thanks to all those in Peter's family and the caregivers who have helped her since Peter's death. I know she was very appreciative of the care and assistance she received so she could stay at Hartsfield Village.

My Aunt Marnie.. always greeted me with a hug and offered words of encouragement thoughout my life. She never judged me.
Aunt Marnie genuinely loved me for who I was, which is just part of the reason I loved her so much.
I will always remember the fun times at "The Barn" in Spencer, holiday dinners, she and my mother attending church choir rehersals... I could go on and on. She was one classy lady. She will be missed!
