What a sweet lady, she will be missed. Sorry for your loss. Prayers for you all.
Gods gives us a glimpse of his Love and his angels and Miss Marie was both. God truly blessed me by allowing me to have known Miss Marie for such a short period of time. I will forever miss our talks we would have about our Lord and Savior and her family, her beautiful smile when I would tell her she had no idea how much she was loved.
I am so sorry for your loss but I know without a shadow of a doubt that she is in the arms of GOD and has a new body. Praise his holy name. I love you Marie and will miss you so very much. Our prayers are with you. God bless.
Shirley and family, So sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. Thoughts and Prayers being sent your way. Kim Hatfield-Gabbard and family.
We so enjoyed visiting with Marie at Countryside each week. She was so sweet and such a joy to be around. She will certainly be missed!
We are sad for loss of your dear Mother, but we rejoice in the fact that she is reunited in heaven with loved ones and our precious Jesus.
So sorry for your loss. Marie was a sweetheart and will be missed dearly. Love and prayers for you all.
I loved your mother. She spoke often about her family and I could tell she was well loved. She was always so kind to me and I will miss her so much. My condolences to all of you
