To Marie's daughters,grandchildren and great grandchildren,
I had the honor of helping Marie through my home health agency. I knew right away she was a very special lady and we immediately became friends. When Marie went to Oak Knolls I would visit her there.She would always be so appreciative and ask me never to forget about her,but how could I ever do that? Her warm caring smile would light up her face. We shared a special bond and my life was enriched just knowing her. I can only imagine your loss of such a loving person. Please accept my sincere condolences. Marie will always remain in my prayers. Love to her, Stephanie Michaud.
