I knew Marie only briefly and she always greeted me daily at City Hall, or on the streets with a hello and a smile. I will miss her.
My thoughts go out her son, family and realatives.

Ms. Merriweather was a great person, and will be missed very much. I always felt at home around her, she was like a close relative to me. Thinking back to when Kyle and I were little, I remember at football, soccer, and baseball games, etc. even since we were five, I always saw her and my mom on the sidelines cheering us on. Her very cheerful and caring personality is what I will miss most about her. Its still hard to grasp the concept of her not being here, but it is a very sad reality. My condolences to Kyle and his family during this very difficult time. To Kyle, you know I'll always be here for you, because your're like a part of my family, and you are always welcome to come by at anytime. Kyle, your mother was a very beautiful person and I am honored to have known her. I am very sorry for your loss.

Kyle, Eugene and I are so sorry that you lost your mother. From the time you were in kindergarten I could see how devoted your mother was to you. Your mother was a great woman who gave society a great gift, you! God bless you and your family.
