Our Deepest Sympathy for your loss. I remember Marie when I was growing up at the post office in the Gap. She always had a Beauty smile, ad I always loved to see her and talk to her for awhile. I grew up on the other side of the Gap. May you fly high with the Angels Marie watching over us until we are together again someday

Marie remained a faithful member of the PA Catholic Daughter Court Our Lady of Victory #588 in Mount Carmel, PA. I enjoyed the notes and cards we shared over the years and will miss her positive outlook on life. God bless you Marie.
