My condolences to Joe, Kim,Jim, and Scott,~ Marian was so much fun to be around. Her laughter was contagious, soon we'd all be laughing in the ENS teacher's room. She was down to earth like her father, Clem. They both had wonderful personalities. She'll be remembered with a smile, and a tear for our loss. She definitely earned her angel wings.

What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget.

RIP Marian. I have beautiful memories and will cherish them forever.

My thoughts, love and prayers to your wonderful extended family.

Love,
Bonnie
