To the Gilroy, DeVoe families.

I am so sorry for your loss.

I was at school with Marion, and we had many laughs together. Sadly, I moved away and we lost touch over the years. I have never forgotten her sweet face and her laugh.

Take comfort in your wonderful memories.

To the entire DeVoe Family,

We are very sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Mema was a wonderful woman and was very blessed to be surrounded by such a loving and caring family. She will be missed dearly.

As you look back on memories you may have forgot you had,
At times you might crack a smile, though it makes you sad.

Mema was a special woman and no one can take her place,
Hopefully there will be some piece of mind when you remember her smiling face.

Mema is an angel now she'll fly high above the rest,
And in your hearts remember always she was the very best.
