Colette and Ed were two of the nicest, humble, and most genuine people you could ever meet. No matter where you ran into them, they would always stop and say "hello", and ask how you and your family were doing. The world needs more people like Colette and Ed! What a wonderful and respected family!

Dear Marnie and family, I am thinking of you all with great sadness in my heart. You lost your sweet Mother way too soon in your life. I remember the day she brought you to my kindergarten class..something you and I chuckled over years later when we ended up teaching together ! I always admired your parents for the wonderful way they raised you..such a kind person/teacher/citizen ! You and your family can feel grateful that your Mother lived her life knowing that many loved her. I pray that you find comfort in time spent with your family and friends. AND most of all that your new school year is filled with many sweet faces that light up your heart. My love, Linda
