Oh Marie - what a blessing your were to my life and the lives of many others.  You shared such wonderful truths.  I am sorry that I could not come to see you when you became ill.  I was so upset at the circumstances and didn't agree with what happened.................but it was not for me to make that decision.  I prayed for you daily and now you are finally home.  I know that you couldn't understand why God had you stay on the earth for so long, you were ready to go for many years.  But by now you do understand and you have that "peace that passeth understanding"!!  You set such a good example of how to live a spiritual life.  I saw how you touched others when we had your birthday get-togethers, not to mention the countless others who were blessed by you.  Thank you, thank you, thank you for the time you spent with me, the dinners we shared, the music and the laughs........................and the hugs!!! Love you!
