I only met Marion in the last couple of days in her life while I was her roommate at the hospital. She had a profound effect on me. Through our conversations, sharing, even her connections with others. She said- I always thought I would be afraid of this moment- but I am tired, I did my best and I am not afraid anymore. She shared a little of her beloved family, and pictures of her adored Abigail. She told me the meaning of life was to serve others. I am so ever grateful having met Marion- and briefly shared in her profound love and affection for all of you..
I am sorry for your loss...

Marion was always kind and gracious to me and was awesome to my Mom up until her recent passing. She was the glue to the Ahrens clan. I will remember her fondly.
