Marie taught Maureen and I to be better woman as we progressed through life. Maureen and I were best friends from grade school though high school. Marie tried to teach us to cook and knit without much success, but she did not give up. Much laughter and happiness during those times. Hugs to all of her family which she LOVED dearly.

I first met her when i was in third or fouth grade. Maureen and Dad had just gotten engaged. She picked me up on Sundays and we would go to a library or to the art mueseum to watch Shirley Temple movies. (still my favorite) She taught me to cook and sew. I was in awe of her abilities. I am so fortunate to have known her. I love you lady and just know those skills are being passed down. Thank you for the nightgowns gowns you made us and for your patience. You will be missed.
