Our deepest sympathy to the family of Marie. What a wonderful lady! My mother, Grace Burns, sat at the same dining table at Fox Knoll some time ago. (My mom died early this year at age 104) When I would come to visit my mom on Sundays, many times Marie would sit outside by the Gazebo with us and chat. She was always so kind to my mother. Marie talked lovingly about her family and had us come to her room to see all her family pictures. We always enjoyed time spent with Marie. We will make a donation to Provena Fox Knoll in memory of Marie.

In sympathy,

Carol (& Joe) Stoffel

Dear Paul:



Someone recently shared with me a wonderful bit of wisdom from George Carlin: "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away." As you remember and celebrate those moments, please know that you and all your family are in my heart.
