Though I didn't know Marie well, what I knew of her was her devotion to her Church. She also attended many functions at St. Mary's. Deepest sympathy to her family. You have another angel in heaven.

Marie, always reached out to me and my family for all occasions. She was there for me when I was having cancer surgery. She will be missed greatly.

My deepest sympathies to the family. Your mother was my confirmation sponsor at Sacred Heart and one of my mom's dearest friends. My mom is heartbroken to hear as well as I. Your mom blessed me with years of beautiful cards and wishes. I could go on and on. May your memories comfort you during this most difficult time.

Mrs. Merski is one of the greatest ladies I have ever met. I was an altar server many years ago at Sacred Heart and she would always stop me and give me treats for "doing such a good job". She always sent a card for my birthday and for my mother's.
Last year I saw her at the cemetery, visiting her husband while I was by my grandparents gravesite. I conversed with her a while and walked her back to her car. She stopped me and gave me a $2 bill that I carry in my wallet, still.
Such a wonderful person and model of what it is to be a person who lives full of love and faith. I'm sad to see her pass, but know that she is happy with her husband in the house of the Lord.

God Bless. Rest in Peace.

Marie is truly one of the sweetest ladies I have ever met. She was full of God's joy and I will miss her and her beautiful cards. I'm sure she is doing the polka with her dear husband in heaven right now. Love you Marie !
