We're thinking of you today as you celebrate the wonderful life of your Mom. My memories go back to kindergarten car pools from SVdP, to conversations on Chestnut Street and to a warm kind letter she sent to our Family when my Mom passed.

I know the memories you have, will help you through the sadness of today.

Marie was a wonderful person who was always joyous, humorous, and just as sweet as a person could be. She loved her family very much. I am sad she is no longer here. The world won't be quite as bright as it was when she was alive. She will be greatly missed by many. My condolences to her family, especially to her son Rick.
