Ken my deepest condolences to you and family. Marie was indeed a fighter for all. We first met as PTA/PTO members struggling to support our Hartford Schools and again during her teaching career at Bulkeley High School. Marie was deeply loved and respected by her peers and her students alike. She has earned those beautiful wings that will carry her to those beloved gates and once again Marie will continue to teach us all.
