Thoughts and prayers to Marian's sisters, children and grand children. Marian was a good and decent woman she was good to me. At the end of the day it matters not that Marian was good to me...it matters that she did right for her children and grand children. At the end of her life...after all the Jambalaya and gumbo recipes have been handed down, what matters now is that Marian left the legacy of goodness decency and doing the right thing for her children and grand children.
