I'm so greatful to have known Marie over the years as a person and colleague. She was a beautiful inside and out, with a very warm and caring person. Of all the years we worked together we treated each other like family. She will be dearly missed.
All my prayers goes out to her husband Paul and children Robin, Paula and Annie, grandchildren and all the family members.

My Dearest Marie... It is so hard to let you go, but I know you will always be with me in spirit. Wear your wings proudly sweetie, you've earned them. You have done so much for me and I love you and will miss you with all my heart. Condolences to the entire family, you are all so wonderful. May the peace of the Lord be with Paul and the rest of the family. Till we meet again Sweetie. I love you with all my heart!

It has been many years since Sweetie and I have been in contact; however, as a child and very young adult I remember her contagious laugh and the bright smile It is not surprising that she touched so many lives. To her family, believe in angels. They express themselves in many ways, a dream, a whisper, coincidence or an overpowering feeling. I would like to believe, that they are not stars, but rather openings in Heaven where the love our lost ones pours through and shines down on our lives. Our wish to her family is that they are comforted in the outpouring of love surrounding them and knowing that her legacy will live on through those she has touched.
