Dear Victor and family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Marion was such a wonderful happy woman and we were privileged to have her as a patient at a our dental office. She would bring us her famous cookies every time she visited us and we enjoyed those special treats. The angels in heaven are one stronger now and we will miss her smiling face and sunny personality. God Bless you all, Jim and Sue Goril

God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be.
So He put his arms around you and whispered "come with Me".
With tearful eyes I watched and saw you pass away,
although I loved you dearly, I could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
hard working hands at rest,
God broke my heart to prove to me,
He only takes the best.

We love & miss you mom.

We were saddened by the news of the death of Marion who is the sister of my old friends Marty and Pat, who I shared so much with in our school years, as well as the Vargas family.

Marion will be in our prayers with the additional intention for our Lord's strength to help carry all of you through this difficult time.

May Marion continue to be the inspiration she has always been to her family, friends, and all who knew her, and that she rest easy secure in the knowledge of the lives she touched.
