Dear Family and Friends of Miss Marie,

There will forever be a vision of such a beautiful smile, upbeat and positive attitude along with quite a unique and contagious sense of humor when I think of and pray for Miss Marie. It was around the mid 1980's we met and have maintained regular contact ever since.

Dear and sweet people like her simply lift one's spirit with absolutely nothing expected in return. Before you realize when visiting, half of the day has passed, a sign of true friends and a meaningful relationship ! Oh will my wife, six and three year young children ever so miss her DEARLY !

May the good Lord wrap His loving arms around her precious soul and deliver peace to Miss Grace and all of the Family.

Fondly,

Vince DiMaria

I first met Marie when she was a volunteer at Baptist Hospital. We neither one realized that we both lived at Middleborough too. She was a wonderful, energetic dynamo. Always willing to lend a hand and flash her winning smile. She was tireless and sweet to everyone she met. A joy to her co-workers, patients and their families alike. May God's peace comfort her loved ones. I can say without a doubt "They just don't make'em the Miss Marie anymore."
