Marie, you are going to be missed by so many. You are loved on both sides veil. Love you so much.
I loved the times I spent with Marie. Whenever I asked her how she was doing, she always answered, “Can’t complain. “ Until her last few weeks, I never did hear her complain. She was positive, loving and always grateful. … I’ll miss our cousin lunches.
Ms. Marie. I am very blessed to have known you! I will see you on the other side!! Save a place for me!! “It’s not good bye - it’s I will see ya soon!”
I had the privilege of working with Marie for a number of years. She has a place in my heart as one of the kindest, sweetest women I’ve ever known.
