I believe "Marie" as we called her is truly in the presence of God, along with her parents. Marie was kind with a good nature. She was a great teacher who motivated many children throughout her teaching career. As a strong, single woman and leader, she reared two positive, successful sons, single-handedly, which makes her a great mother. I believe she served her purpose in this life, and has truly earned her wings! May God always bless you, Marie.
