Love you, Mari! xo

Miss you Mari

Oh Mari how I miss you. All those phone calls chatting and catching up. We all take so much for granted I so wish you were here to make me laugh.
You were a true friend and I was lucky to know you❤

Oh Mari, another year gone by my dear. If I told you how many times I think about you, it wouldn't be believed. I touch bases with Chuck now and then... He always sounds upbeat, but inside, I KNOW he's missing you deeply... Always will love you, Mari and forever I will miss you!! XO

Class of ‘64. As we age we lose more and more classmates and know that time is flying by too fast. (Btw Mari, Carolyn Rosso couldn’t believe you were gone). As I write this in January, 2021, my memories with Mari take me back to such a much simpler time. How blessed to grow up in Lafayette. We definitely had a good life in a wonderful town. I think of her family’s thriving business and fast forward to the difficult challenges faced today amid the Covid19 virus pandemic that has devastated so many losing jobs, travel, socializing and I cannot help having the peaceful visual of a smiling Mari flying heavenly high above all the storms below. Thankful for God’s promises.

Time is so fleeting, however, losing a loved one can seem just like yesterday. My heart goes out to all those loved ones.

What a blessing to have known Mari. I always admired her confident boldness. She was one sharp cookie and one had to be on their toes when in conversation! Mari exhibited so many talents and how I wish we could all go back in time for one more ride in that Thunderbird!

I will just have to wait, knowing that day will come all too soon.

Praying for your peace and a hug to your hearts as you relive some of those blessed memories.

Mari,

Nothing more needs to be said other than, you were simply the BEST.. I miss you..and love you more each day !

My thoughts and prayers are with the family
A funny, caring, and lovely lady
May God bless you and comfort you .

The wonderful, caring and fortunate memories that I have had shared with a flying angel that was hard working and loving will be missed. Fly safely and continue spreading your warm smile and loving heart with everyone in the high heaven we call our final destination. I will miss your fresh baked home made goodies that you would share with everyone you loved and flew with. I will miss your laughter and your presence always. Heaven will be a better place now that you are up there flying and baking! God speed your on time arrival! Your former Reno Air, American Airline Flight Attendant and friend,

Hi Chuck,

Haven't connected with you for a while. Noticed Mari's obituary in the EB Times.

We remember that you and Mari made a wonderful couple and great parents.

Please accept our condolences.

Pam and Roger

God Bless you.

Dear Mari I miss you already, your smiling face and loving heart. Your friendship was true, caring and so sincere. You were a shining light when I met you and will continue to shine in our hearts. You were taken much to young so hard to understand.
Peace and love to you and your family.

Mari,

I will miss your beautiful smile and positive attitude. May you never be cold again. Condolences to you, Chuck and the rest of the family. Love,
Cindi Trahan

Reno Air Family is missing you !
Love Ann Duncan & Krista MacFarlane
And all the lucky stews that got to fly with you!

What a blessing to have had the opportunity to see Mari and have a nice chat at our 50th high school reunion. I hadn't seen her in years and was so happy to hear about the rich life she led and so sorry to hear of the heartaches. I will always remember Mari as a very flamboyant, high energy person in high school. She enjoyed keeping up with the latest fashion trends. Mari could have been one of the personalities out of the movie "Grease" because she loved cruising around in her beautiful T-bird in Walnut Creek on Friday nights and then making a stop at Mels Drive In.

While visiting with her at the reunion I couldn't help but admire Mari's beautiful spirit, courage and strength. She expressed how thankful she was for her husband and friends.

Rest well, Mari and may we all meet again for a heavenly ride on Friday night. Prayers and sympathy to all of her family for their loss.
