Aunt Marian
graceful, stately, a gentle smile
not seen enough but known to me for she was my godmother
a connection made in heaven!
I'll see you again.

Dearest McCormack family:

It has been a blessing and my pleasure to have known Marian for over 15 years. We met over fashion...and I have assisted her with her love of clothes. Besides fashion, our visits always meant we could catch-up on family events. As you know, you were her treasures! In her graciousness she always enjoyed hearing about my children...and was very supportive in the Catholic Ministries I work with. I remember her being so delighted,several years ago, when I told her she could view Mass on Sunday mornings at 11:00 on TV... she so enjoyed keeping in touch with God's word.

Blessings to you all!

Jeannie Quaglia and children
