She has been such an inspriation over the years. She taught me to perserver and be passionate about what you do. I have pieces of her crochet as fond reminders of her friendship. She was a faithful believer in God and I know the reunion with Stanley is sweet.

Wesley, Rodney, Bernard, Claire, Linda and Families, we extend to you our deepest sympathy and sincere heartfelt prayers. Aunt Marie went from pain to peace and her home to her heavenly home. Our families gathered memories over the years that will last forever. Her sewing, crochet, crafts, cooking, phone calls, and stories. We are praying for the repose of her soul and for all of her loved ones.
