Flo and Mary- Sincere sympathy to you and your families. I never met your sister, but if she was anything like the two of you, she was a special lady.
God Bless.

Could'nt believe when we got the news of "Aunt Marie". Logan I know will always have a place in his heart for her. I think I liked going to get him in the afternoon just as much as he loved going to her house, so Marie and I could share the latest "Southern Cayuga Gossip". She touched so many young kids lives!! She will be sorely missed.

Ellen, Flo and family,
I was shocked and saddened to hear of Marie's passing. She was very sweet and always so nice when I was at your house. Please hug your Mom and the rest of the family from me.
Love,

Too miss you as much as I do and to have to tell” little Miss” you are gone makes my heart hurt. You have been our Aunt Marie, Mother & Friend all rolled into one. I will never forget our afternoon talks and all the…. you can do it's that will now have to last a life time. I cannot tell you what you have meant in our life and how much we will always love you, I miss you already! I am so thankful that I was able to come round that corner and see you standing their 2 weeks ago I was never so happy to run into someone. Kelsie said to me as we were leaving the parking lot how lucky were where “Mom it's Thursday and late in the morning what was Aunt Marie doing there …………I laughed and said maybe she wanted to see us.
