Ms. Marion will be so missed by me. Every early morning she came in, if I worked the night shift prior, she would always stop & chat with me. I wish the family many happy and cherished memories to help ease you and help make you smile during this difficult transition.

Marion and I were best friends since first grade at Jefferson Elementary School. Even though we lived miles apart we were there for each other when events in our lives were difficult to handle alone. Whenever she introduced me to someone I did not know she always added "we were friends from first grade and never had an argument. She fulfilled a promise to come to Connecticut when she and Emma Lou arrived to help me prepare to move back to Charlottesville. My love and condolences are extended to all of the family but especially to Eusheila and C. T. Marion was one of the nicest human beings I have had the pleasure of knowing. Rest in peace dear friend.
