My daughter and I were talking about Marie today. We have fond memories of she and Brownie at our festival for so many years. We loved them both so much.

Marie was just like a mom to me. She was always there to guide me, encourage me and give me good advice. You will be missed saws. I send love and prayers to the Townsend family.
