Dear Terry and Frankie,
I will always have wonderful memories of Marie. Living next door to you all for all those years. She taught me how to make cubed steak but for some reason it just never turned out as good as hers.
We just spent time talking on the front porch. I know you will she will be missed.
Terry and Frankie, you are in our prayers.
So sorry for your loss.

My childhood friend and I will always treasure our memories especially from Old Plank Road. My thoughts are with Terry, Frankie, Holly, Richard and all the family. I was in New England when Marie passed, and returned today . Ironically, I was visiting New Hampshire where our families lived for several months when Marie and I were in 7th grade. We had a lot of fun there also. Great memories and a person I will always remember!

I love you Mom! There are so many memories of my childhood/teen years with you. You taught me to respect my elders, use my manners (unless I wanted to get smacked...lol), and above all...you had a very strong hand in making me the great Gator fan I am today! I think one of my best memories is when I look back at my wedding day and remember you fussing at me because I was getting married during the Gator game. Then, as I walked down the aisle, you pointed to the radio in your ear and gave me the score...priceless moment! I will think of you everytime I watch them play and hopefully kick butt against GA in a couple of weeks :) I love you so much Mom and I will always be right here looking out for my sister, Frankie!
