Dearest Marie,
Thank you for all your kindness and hospitality. We loved making our little stops to visit with you and Uncle Dennis. If you see Tom on your new journey, please give him a big hug and tell him I miss him. Thanks
Marie's Family,
I am sad for your loss. She had many many good years. So, if you don't mind, I want to celebrate her life. She loved and took pride in all of you so much. She is in a good place. Tom and I were blessed to have known her.
Love and Hugs,
Shirley
