I am just one of Marcie's many grandchildren. She was an amazing grandmother and more importantly a wonderful mother to my father, Ron Bilodeau. Marcie was beautiful inside and out. She had a wry sense of humor and was one of the toughest women I've ever known (I guess you'd have to be to raise 4 boys in MT) yet a perfect lady. I'll miss the smell of her...she always smelled of double mint gum and sun kissed roses. Her skin was velvety soft and she was the only other woman I knew growing up who had a size 11 shoe and ring size of 8/9 like me! She had a ready supply of Lemon Drops and Black Licorice keep us as kids loaded. She kept all her wigs from cosmetology experiments for us to dress up with (boy they weren't pretty after 20 yrs). Most of all, I will miss her hugs, kisses and companionship.
Grandma - I look forward to seeing you again real soon in the future! I LOVE YOU! ~ Naomi Roestel
