Dear Mrs. Marian,
You leave a great legacy behind. You raised three boys who developed into three good guys, devoted loving husbands, and great family men. You leave eight very talented and productive grandchildren and 21 (soon to be 23) beautiful great grandchildren. Without you these great people would not be. We will let your legacy of children know who you were and keep your memory alive in them. We had many good family times together with fun and laughter and some not so good times with a few tears shed. I am grateful for it all. I know you are peacefully at rest with God and are no longer hurting. Keep watch over us.
Love, Maureen

John 14:1-4 Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. And you know the way to where I am going.

I am sorry for your loss. I hope you can take comfort in knowing she is no longer in pain. I know her soul is searching for Mr. Chick. They will be reunited in Christ. You all are in our thoughts and prayers. Much love, Rita and Erin Dowd
