I'd neither seen nor spoken with Marie in a long year. I suddenly got the notion to look her up and the first thing was an obituary. I am saddened to learn she is no longer in this world. She taught me a lot of things for which I will always be grateful. I will always remember that photo in her house of the man with the kindly face. She told me who he was, but I no longer remember.
Perhaps we shall meet again. But not just yet.

Condolences to the family. Marie was like a second mother to me, and helped me see situations and people in ways that I could not. She was an inspiration and a delight, even when she would tell it like it was. I will love and miss her, and will remember all the great times we had together. Memories of her houseboat and all of our talks. RIP my Marie.
