I was saddened to hear of the loss of Marie ("Grandma Hills" as I always called her). She was a wonderful person, caring and loving. She was so proud of her family, referring to all of you as My Gina, My Debbie and My Jeffrey. She had such a kind heart and always made us smile. Deepest sympathy to all of you. Prayers and thoughts are with you.

I was so sad to hear of Marie's passing this morning. I used to enjoy seeing her come into the credit union I worked at and talk with her during her visit to see us. She was a wonderful person, and my thoughts and prayers are with her family. SSG Adam & Mrs. Renee Smith and family (St. Robert, MO, formerly from Duryea)
