Miss Marie, as whe was known to me, was a delight to spend time with. I saw her at family functions and was embraced by her and the rest of the family as a friend. and they also made me feel like part of the family. I will always remember her smile and personable demeanor, and feel blessed to have known her and her family. When I talked to her, I could tell that she sincerely listened and cared about what I said. She also laughed at my feeble attempts at humor and funny stories, and those memories will be forever etched in my heart and mind. I am praying for you, Tom, and the rest of your family through this time. I wish you all blessings and peace.
