Tammy - I remember seeing you for years when I worked with your mom at Donaldson's. You would bring the kids in to see their Grandma. Danny - I heard a lot about you from your mom! She loved you and your families and was very proud of you all. I loved working with Marie. She was so much fun and called everyone 'honey'! Everyonce and a while she'd go to the Apartment Lounge with us and have a Singapore Sling - I always wondered what was in it. Our department would answer the phone at the store and then page people over the store speakers. Marie would push the button in and then move the microphone neck. We always knew it was her because we'd hear the VVVVVVVVD as the neck moved. We always said we could write a book from our experiences in retail. I am so very sorry for your loss as I know you will all miss her. I didn't see the notice until this morning and I am sorry I missed the visitation. Marie was a very kind and generous person. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Tammy, my mother was a resident at Martin Center the same time as yours. My mom died in June. My mom had Alzheimer's and was often upset. Your mom was so kind to her and to me. She would often ask me if there was anything she could do for me. She was always pleasant and I loved seeing her when I visited my mom. I am so sorry for your loss. It was very difficult to lose my mom, but I try to remember that she is not sick now and someday when I see her she will remember who I am. Take care. Renee
