Your light will shine on in every soul you touched my friend. I was not really awake at the time I met you in my life, but I realize even moreso now, how special you were in trying to be a light in an increasingly mixed up world and help others towards that light. Your work was not for naught and you touched the souls of many my friend I am sure. I imagine you looking down from the stars smiling now ...RIP and sine on my friend.

I remember many fond times with Marie. She taught me to cook coq au vin and made working at Juvenile Court interesting. Rest in peace Marie.
