Marian McQuade

REST IN PEACE

The recognition of grandparents is real and profound. Their quiet humility and decency are the glue that holds our lives and families together. Through their example we all become better people. It is from such that the strength of our country derives and are an incredibly valuable resource. It would continue regardless of official recognition, Marian is to be commended for bringing attention to all aging issues in general, especially the many ways and areas they contribute. Thank you, Marian.

I am one of the surviving great-grandchildren and, although I had never met my great-grandmother, she has always been some sort of family Hero (my grandmother, Jackie, speaks novels about her when she has the chance and I can see how much of an impact Marian had on her daughter by the tenacity she fights for issues in San Diego). I may be three years late in giving her the proper attention and respect but I am proud that she was able to live such a long, ambitious, and successful life.
Blessings,

To the family of Mrs. Marian McQuade,

We wish to offer our
Sympathy for your loss. Your aunt was a special lady to advocate such a proposal.
Even though this death separates you from your aunt, Your complete reliance on “the God of all comfort” will help you to endure grief, sadness and sorrow. (2 Corinthians 1:3, 4)
Our Condolence to the family

I'm Vida Albert, daughter of Vida Herndon Albert. I didn't know my Aunt Marian (though I'm told that one of her children bit my back when I was two). I have throughly enjoyed the stories my mother has told me through the years of my aunt an her own adventures with the McQuade children. I add my condolences and am honored to be in some way kin to such a great lady.

I'm Joyce Ellen Herndon Baumgartner, daughter of William Lewis Herndon and Martha Ellen Herndon. Lost contact with the McQuade/Herndon family after parents moved to Florida in 1960. I was greatly sadden to hear about Marian's death. I lost my mother on April 12 2009 Easter Sunday at age 93. Dad passed away in 2003. We spent sometime with the McQuade children,remember the large house, as a child. May our beloved parents rest in peace.

To: The McQuade Family,

I am truly thankful for Mrs. McQuade great efforts in honoring the grandparents. This day is very special to me. I look forward to every year that I receive a card, gift and telephone call from my only granddaughter stating "Happy Grandparents' Day". May God continue to give all of you the strength to endure such a great loss.

Truly thankful,
Fredia Lacey

Thank you for your efforts to have Older Americans recognized. You were among the first.
There is a lot to be done still to stop the employment discrimination but you opened the door and for that, we should be a grateful nation to you.
God bless you for all you have done for us Older Americans!

My sympathy and prayers to the family. I did not know Marian but I know she was a special lady and I thank her for all that she did for our country. We grandmothers are usually overlooked. In these times there are millions of Grandmothers who are raising our Grandchildren because of one circumstance or another. Marian championed for us and God has truly blessed her throughout her life. Thank you Marian.

McQuade Family:
I didn't know your mother but I just wanted to give my condolence to you and your family. A loss of a loved ones is not ease but the Bible promise a time soon when sickness and death will be no more Revelation 21:1-5. Under Jehovah God Kingdom rule the earth will be come a paradise and peace will be. Once again my deep condolence.

Thank God for Marian for getting grandparents recognized. I offer my deepest sympathy and prayers for your loss. May your memories of her provide comfort and in time laughs that you shared.

God Bless Marian McQuade. We need more people in the world like her. She was a true inspiration to all humankind.

To the family of Mrs. McQuade,
You have my deepest sympathy on the loss of Marian. I did a recognition service for grandparents at church, and I began to look up how it began and things I could use and I found out about all that Marian had done to get grandparents day started. I was really impressed with her love and dedication to get it accomplished. I will never forget her. Her life and accomplishments just blew me away. She was a great lady.
Love in Christ,
Ruby Cato

God Bless you and thank you for honoring those grandparents who we have now and those who have walked before us.

To the family of Marian,
I would like to offer my condolences . It is always sad when someone we love passes away. May the comfort and tender mercies of our Heavenly Father be with you all (2 Corinthians 1:4).
