Marie, We became friends almost immediately after we met. You always greeted me with a big smile. Your kind and sincere ways will always be remembered. You will always have a "special" place in my heart. Our time together was too short, but now I know you are spending time with Paul and laughing. I will miss you terribly but I also have comfort that you are no longer in pain. I am so thankful that I had you for a friend.
Until we meet again.

To all of the family,
We are so sorry to hear that Aunt Marie passed away. We didn't get to see her very often but we loved her very much and she always made sure that we knew how much she loved us too. She was special in so many ways. We hope that your great memories you all shared will help you get through this sad time and help heal your heart. Try to remember that she will still always be with you. We love you all, your cousins....Og, Michelle, & Bugsy Wright

To All The Family,
I can't begin to tell you how sorry I am. I think of her and I think of her beautiful big eyes and a smile so pretty. I've sat here and have remembered so many things......most of what we shouldn't have done, but I've laughed so hard, then cry so hard.I've shared a few stories with some people, and they could not stop laughing. They also said we were crazy, but that was fine because we always admitted we were crazy.Sweet Marie, married my brother Jeff, and could they ever dance, people always on the side watching. You could never tell me that either one of them ever stopped loving each other. The first time I saw the movie ''The Notebook'',I thoughtof them, a love that never ended. She always protected me from bullies, her and our friend Boots, and then they taught me howto fight and stick up for myself....oh boy, that was a mistake. Whether it was a seyance we were having, or taking a car with no license, we had a blast. I won't and I can't say goodbye, but my dear friend, sister-in-law/niece, I will see you again.I close my eyes and I picture you being able to breathe so good and you and Jeff already dancing. To all of the family who I consider my family as well, I pray that you get thru this sad time by knowing she can now breathe, by remembering beautiful memories and by knowing she is not alone, she is with loved ones she has missed. She will still be with you and all that loved her...in our hearts and guiding over you always. If you need anything, I am here for you. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. So sweet Marie, until we see each other again....I Hope
You Dance. Love you so much, Aunt Noni

To Marie's Family,
I am so very sorry for your loss. I had the priviege to not only meet Marie but to spend some time with her as well. I remember her laughter and her beautiful smile as I reflect back on those days. She will be missed for sure. Althought thinking about her passing on brings a tear to my eye, I can't help but smile as I recall being in her presents... she was always full of "life" yeah, that's what we will call it. I will miss her dearly. Marie, may you rest in peace now, keep that smile upon your face and in your heart.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Marie you were always like a mother to me, despite all the years that have gone by you have always remained in my thoughts and in my heart. I will never forget all the fun times, the laughs and all the love you gave me. I love you and always will. Rest in peace now Marie free of pain and any suffering. I love you and always will.
