Dear Family
Scott and I were saddened to hear of your mother's passing. Both she and Bill were such wonderful people. Both of them were such inspirations to us when we first moved here. We will always miss them both.

Dear Sue, Cindy, Jim, spouses, and grandchildren:
We have all lost a true gem of a person. Marnie will be missed by all of us for so many different reasons. Her caring and her willingness to give to and to do for others are attributes for which we all should strive. We, her Bluff family on Hilton Head, will be remembering stories which include her (and Doc) for years to come. Marnie had a zest for life and a keen sense of humor that never faltered, even when times got tough. She was always able to see the "half-full" side of any situation, no matter how dire it seemed. Don and I considered her to be one of our dearest friends, and our trips to HH won't be the same knowing she will not be returning. We are so blessed to have all of you, her family, as our friends, and we want you to know how much we care for all of you. We send our love and our deepest sympathy to you at this time.

Heaven got another good one :)
My biggest wish while you're up there looking down on all of us...don't change one bit. tell it like it is, call them like you see them, love tremendously and with all your heart, never have anyone guess how you really feel, never miss the chance to have a Chardonnay and happy hour is everyday at 5 :)
Thank you for being so generous to both myself and my children. Thank you for giving me the chance to take my kids to Hilton Head all those years ago..We wouldn't have known what we were missing had you not been so gracious. And now its the one place on Earth that we all have only happy memories from.
May you rest peacefully and tell "Trouble" that his favorite bartender says hello and sends her love. I'm so glad that you get to be with him again.
