Marie was a wonderful individual ... loving, caring, and always with a smile on her face. We will always cherish the time we spent with her ... especially the night at the Josh Groban concert with Lois.
She will be greatly missed.
Much love,

Rosie, we had some amazing times together. Not too many guys can count their mother-in-law as one of their "buddies", and I was told countless times how lucky I was to have this kind of relationship with my mother-in-law! From the poker tournaments, to the wild at home card games we played at all over town, the constant teasing, and the practical jokes, I will miss you so very much. (I'm still waiting for those book ends to show up somewhere)
Most importantly, thank you for having, loving, and raising your daughter Terry. I can't imagine my life without Terry and the kids, thanks so much.
Did you hear that? You better go! St. Peter just said "Marie, your 4-8 Omaha seat is available, Marie to the poker room please."
Love, "Jeffie-poo".

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends. May you have my deepest and sincerest condolence.
I did not know Marie as well as I wish I had, but I do know that she made my Dad (Jim Conrad) a very happy person. I do know that Marie was a very sweet lady and I will miss her very much.
I also know that Marie is a saint right now and is up in heaven right now and is having a great time at the "Heavenly Casino"!
I will miss Marie and I will continue to pray to her that she will watch over her family and friends and pray for us, so that when our time is over here on earth we will be united with our loved ones in Heaven. I can't wait to see you again Marie in Heaven.
