I have been fortunate to have known Marie for many years though family ties. She was an incredibly wonderful woman in so many ways. She was a dear friend to many and blessed this planet with her warm, loving and giving ways. She was intelligent and determined and exhibited a strength to be admired by all. She gave so much of herself to her family, friends and through her career and kind words. The world has been a better place because of her. She will be greatly missed. I am grateful to have been blessed by her friendship.
