Marie was a sweet lady and I got to know her when Thomas was playing music at the music hall. I send my prayers to all the family.

We are sorry that we were not able to attend the services for Marie. She will be greatly missed, especially at the Ayers Family Reunion in May. If able, she was always there. We loved her very much. Our prayers are with all of you siblings and to Thomas. Love you, Floyd and Nancy
