Sorry for your loss. I worked with Marie for several years at the agency. I'm shocked to hear that she is no longer "there". I will truly miss our "annual" Christmas dinner. Thank God we do have the assurance of her relationship with Christ. Hugs and prayers.

To the family of Marie Sisco
I had the blessed pleasure of sharing and spending time with Ms. Sisco and it changed my life. She had a way of calling you "daughter" and you know in your soul that you were loved by a Mother's heart. She planted wisdom into my life when I needed it most. Her life will always be remembered by many. I salute her and praise GOD for the rich legacy she leaves in the earth! Her ministry will linger and still bless us! I love you and GOD Bless you always!

I want to thank everyone for the heartfelt condolences towards our family. I will truly miss my mom. She was my #1 supporter, encourager and best friend. I am comforted in the fact that she was a Child of God and to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.

Praying that God will sustain you during this time of bereavement. Cherrish her legacy of love, caring, and giving.

This candle is shining bright in remembrance of a loving, mighty woman of God. Denise my heart was saddened with the news of the passing of your mother. Mother Sisco, as I called her, was truly a blessing to be around, just being in her presence , you knew the Lord was with her, so that meant he was with you also. She was always so happy, may the Lord give you strength to endure the pain from the loss, but knowing that she is resting in God's arms should give you some comfort. I will continue to keep your family in my prayers, know that I am here for you.

I am so sorry to hear of Marie's passing. She always had kind words for everyone at the agency. When she worked for the directors, she interacted with almost everyone who worked here, but she could always remember to ask about family members by name. She was a very sweet person. I will miss seeing her at "church lady" events, also. My tears and prayers are with your family. I hope you have wonderful memories!
