Dear Jack and Family,

For many years, in numerous ways, Marion has been a wonderful friend to me. Her faith has strengthened mine, her hope has inspired me, and her contagious smile and love for one another has always touched my heart. Because of all she was, because of all she gave, her loving memory will remain, forever, in my heart. She truly was an 'angel on earth' ... now she is one in heaven.

With our love, prayers, and deepest sympathy,

Sue & Mike Falsetta

Dear Jack and Family, Marty and I both are sad and yet rejoice for you, both at the same time! One former pastor once told us that we have "upside down worlds as Christians." Truly, this is the case. We are sad for our and your loss, yet rejoicing that her pain and suffering are gone and she is in Heaven. Marion was a friend, a reflection of Jesus and an inspiration of many Christian women in the Hudson Valley. We are sorry for your loss and grieve along with you. May God comfort you during this time. Marty and Mindy Stephani

Marion was such an inspiration of Jesus' faith to me. She was a true model of Jesus and I thank God I knew her. She helped my mom so many times through life and you are blessed to have had her as your wife and mother. I pray that God's peace will comfort you all.

My mom's wishes were to have people donate to the church in lieu of flowers in her name. The churches are Goodwill Church in Montgomery, Bethlehem Presbytarian in Cornwall or Freedom Road. If not a church then to Sloan Kettering Memorial Hospital Gynocological Cancer.

Dear Jack and Family, So sorry for your earthly loss, but know our lives are richer and have more assurance because of the faith exhibited in and through the pilgrim journey of Marion. She is now safely Home with Jesus whom she loved because HE first loved us all and she believed it personally. Praying the Comforter will renew your hope as you take the time to trust HIM during your grief.

Thanks for visiting, my mom was a wonderful lady and so full of life. She shared so much with us and I will always remember her and the blessings she shared with us. My mom's wishes was for donations to be made to the church instead of flowers if your heart moves you.
