Marian was so warm and such a kind person. I felt very much welcomed in her home the few opportunities I had to visit her. She was funny too which made each visit a delightful one. I was once her sister in law and she and Denise were in my thoughts from time to time. Both were very kind to me. My heart and prayers go out to the family.

Marion was so delightful and full of smiles each time I saw her. I wasn't in her presence too often, however she always made me feel very welcome. She was like a mother to Denise, in which I thought she was, until I was informed, differently, by Denise. She will be missed, on the phone, while sitting in my styling chair, asking a million questions and laughing. She is loved by many and touched so many, as she did me. I love her, for the sisterly love she gave; she loved Denise "SoMuch!" May God bless your family.
