Our Condolences From Our Family To You.
I Thank You For Opening Your Doors To Me, The Time I Was There Taking Care Of Marie.
Marie Was A Special Women, She Was Very Strong
She Tried To Help As Much As She Could, But One Thing She Always Did At The End Of her Care. She Always Tried To Rub My Back just because she knew it was getting hard for her, The gentle kisses she gave me on my hands. Those little things that touched my heart & her special way of saying to me " Thank You"
Now I Say To You Thank You For Sharing Marie
With Me.
Love Evelyn & Henry

So sorry Uncle Richie, Rosemary, Ricky and family. Wish I could be there for all of you. She will be missed. Aunt Marie got me into playing softball and there isn't a time when someone mentions the Yankee's I don't think of her first. Prayers to all of you. Annette and Danny Stockwell
