Dear Marie,

I was deeply saddened to hear of your sudden passing. Even though I was not able to bid my last farewell to you on Friday, please know that you were on my mind and in my thoughts and prayers. I will always remember how sincerely and deeply you cared for your nieces. You always looked forward to spending quality time with them and after the fact you would speak so fondly, kindly and lovingly of them. They were your pride and joy! I can picture you now, smiling radiantly from heaven, looking down upon your nieces and entire loving family. To Marie's family, please know that my heart goes out to you in this time of grieving and my hope is that you find peace and love in the memories you cherish. Please accept my condolences on the loss of your daughter, sister and "Aunt Rie Rie".
