I met Marie many many years ago when I worked with her at Cott Soda. I immediately took to her and she to me. There’s not enough room in this little square to describe what a great person she was and now IS in Heaven. The body is just a shell for the soul–her soul will live forever. I’m more than sure God has some big plans for her. Although it is bittersweet I’m glad she is not in pain anymore–she didn’t deserve that yet she hardly complained.Everytime I saw her I’d ask,”How ya doing Marie” She’d reply”I’m okay..I’ll be alright”…Such a brave soldier she was..and such a kind spirited person. I don’t think I’ve ever heard her say a bad word about anyone…until we see eachother again rest easy My Friend. Mark, Diane, & family may you find peace in remembering the good times xo
Mark and Family:
My deepest condolences. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Hey Cuz,
Thank you for taking us under your wing, if it weren’t for you we’d never know our East Coast Cousins. Our trip out there driving up the east coast was pretty great. Your phone calls filling us in on the kids & Grandkids, our cousins in Mass. The trips you & Di made out here was an experience & education the conversations the laughs. I Thank You for being persistent & not allowing us to drift apart again, it will be easier now to keep in touch with the family’s. You will be missed but always there with us. Love u miss u WCC
