Rita,

My deepest sympathy to you and your family. The loss of a loved one is often a long road for those left behind, but a short road to peace for those who we have lost. God Bless.

Marie was one of the kindest people I have ever met. She encouraged me several times when I was in school with her at Chicago State. She was always there to give rides when I needed them. I don't think I could have completed the program without her.
