    Dear: Nancy, Cecil, Carol, Sherry, LauraLee & Families . . .

    Words, no matter how kind can’t mend your heartache. Please accept our deepest condolences on the loss of Marie. Your family has experienced a huge loss with her passing as a wonderful Mother, Grandmother & Great-Grandmother. As you gather to mourn her passing, may loving memories of an amazing woman replace your tears with smiles of happy times together . . . may you find strength in each other now & in the difficult days ahead. It is always hard to see our once lively parents age & eventually leave this world behind – but may it comfort you somewhat to know that your Mom is now resting in peace & reunited with your Dad in Heaven forever. Marie’s devoted love of her family & those she held dear will forever live on in your hearts as precious memories & her legacy will live on in all of you . . .

    We extend our sincerest condolences, thoughts & prayers to you all at this very heartbreaking time. God Bless 🙏🏻❤️
