So sorry to learn Marian passed. I loved the bridge we played together, the golf, and shopping in her amazing house for Christmas gifts. She was so much fun to be around! Condolences to all of you!

May God bless you and your family. We all loved Mars very much. I will always cherish all the memories we had growing up especially when I was her flower girl at her wedding. Love you all, Diane (Doil) (Divenskee)

Dear Rossi Family,
My sincere condolences on the passing of your mother Marian. She was a lovely lady, always full of joy with a laugh that filled the room. Your family made living in Westlake a great memory in the 60´s and Clyde and Marian were my parents dearest friends. I will have a mass said for Marian. You are in my prayers.
