Deepest sympathy on your loss. She was a great friend and neighbor years ago when we lived on Cumberland. We had fun times! Good memories.

So sorry to hear of Mimi's passing. She helped so many people and will be sorely missed. (Psalms 94:19)

Oh Dear Matt and Peggy-
Mom and I have recently been thinking of Marianne so very much and are so sad to read of her passing.
She was an amazing woman indeed. We loved and respected her tremendously and are sad that our move to the NW has removed us from dear family. We think of you both so often- and miss you.
Please know our hearts, thoughts and prayers are with you all.
We'd love to talk with you by phone once you get past the shock and grief.
We're no longer on Facebook and have no way to be in touch with you except by phone.
Just know we love you- and are grieving her loss with you.

I met Marianne through my daughter Amy & we connected when I introduced her to Grace. We had a long conversation that evening & I felt like I´d known her forever! She was a sweet & kind lady that I was so honored to have met. RIP Marianne until we all meet again sweet lady.
