I feel very fortunate to have shared a small part of life with Marie. In three short years I saw Marie's love of life, her energy, her amazing talents and her eagerness to learn and experience new things. We shared our love of food, wine and dining. Marie, a gracious lady - you will be missed. Le bon Dieu avec toi.

My relationship with Marie began at Camp Firefly, a grief camp for children sponsored by Moorestwon VNA where we were co-counselors. I became close to her in a short time and was in contact with her frequently. During our brief time together we had many discussions about loss, mourning and death with our campers and amongst ourselves as we tried to help the children deal with their own losses. She was a woman of amazing strength and virtue. I can assure you that Marie was not afraid of dying. She spoke fondly of seeing her mother again "someday" so we should rejoice in their reunion. Marie was very much loved here on Earth and was a blessing to all of us. I will try my best to honor her life and memory through my counseling and will never forget the lessons she taught me.

It is with deep sadness that I learned of Marie's untimely death. I will always feel fortunate to have spent 4 years at The Mount with such a bright, kind and gracious classmate. Those fond memories of Marie will live on until we are hopefully all together once again at our Heavenly Reunion. Be assured of my prayers for all of you. Jane Wesner Nolen '67
