I am so sorry to hear of Marie's passing. Marie and "Mac" were dear friends of my parents, Joe and Laura Thoman. She was the sweetest lady, very dear to my mother who died 6 years ago.. Please accept my most sincere sympathy. I hope your memories of your mother sustain you during this difficult time.
