Dear sweet Marion. I'm not sure how I came about calling you "trouble" but it always brought a smile to your face and I often was the recipient of a hug and kiss. You always brought a smile to my face and I loved making you laugh. I miss you. Things just aren't the same at St Anns without you. Rest in peace my dear friend and may God bless you and your dear family.

My dearest friend Marion, We've known each other since we were seven years old and we would squeeze through two garages to play together. Every memory I have of my childhood until now includes you. Love, Betty
