Dear Charles and your family,

I have just heard that my dear friend passed away... this is unbelievable! I tried to call her last weekend but the phone number had been disconnected. Charles, I am Marion's Canadian friend, travelling with her on Tri-Rail. I would appreciate to speak to you if it is possible.

My sincere condolences,

Andree Poulin, Fort Lauderdale

As a teenager I knew Marion and her family. She was always very nice. I have fond memories of her and her family. I send my deepest condolences to her family and especially Chuck, her brother, whom I spent a lot of time with diving.

I had the privledge of working with Marion for four years in the Office of Commissioner Katy Sorenson. She was not only a conscientious, reliable and note-worthy worker but a delightful, charming and fun-loving person as well. She spoke of her family often and I listened with great interest since her nephews Sloan and Chase had gone to Palmetto Elementary school with my boys.
My deepest condolences to all the MacKarvich Family.
