Marion, I will cherish your mom's lovely smile when we met at the Home of the Innocents, years ago. I remember how you shared with me how she loved cooking, making sure you had food to eat. Just another awesome mother. Trust God and hold on to the memories which will get you through easier days to come.
Love,
Karen Whaley Brown
