Mariel, will be missed by many especially her church family at Emanuel. I feel it was a privlege to have known Mariel and I have great respect for her dedication to her community and those that needed a helping hand.
I will never forget the Easter she held a few years ago with the community Easter Egg hunt sponsor the West End Elliott Citizens Council.
To her family I send my sincerest sympathy.

Ah, Mariel. Your commitment to Meals on Wheels and the West End community is your legacy. You never made my work with you easy, but I always knew where your heart was. I will think of you often and fondly.
