Marie espoused doing the right thing in the simplest & purest of ways with the most genteel presentation Ive known. She had a warmth that I already feel gone after reading this heartbreaking news. We are all so blessed to have known her, worked with her, campaigned with her and ultimately we all became better people on our own paths because of simply knowing her. Marie will be missed may her memory always be a blessing.
