Marie was a beacon of light to all who not only knew her, but crossed her path. We had so many great memories and laughs. I met her the summer before our 7th grade. As we got older and did not see each other as much, we never skipped a beat. Talking with her was always like we were in 7th grade again, sitting on the front porch as if there was no time or distance between us. I cant believe she is gone. There is an empty spot in my heart. What a loss, such a loss. She told me she was not afraid to die. She knew God had a plan for her life and had brought her through so much. She said she was at peace. Her only concern was for her son, and family. Tommie, Mr. and Mrs. Schultz, and Aunt Sophie, I am so sorry for your loss. I cannot attend on Sunday, due to business and being on the west coast now. Know my heart, thoughts, prayers, and hugs are with you. This world cannot last much longer...we will see her smiling face again, soon!
Love and prayers,
