I am so sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to Marie’s family, Bobby and her many friends. Marie was such a “Lady” and working next to her made my day. She loved her family and we exchanged many humorous tales of our loved ones. May you find comfort in knowing she will be missed by those of us who also loved and admired her.

So saddened to hear of Marie’s passing. We were high school classmates and neighbors in Roxborough. She was such a gentle person and a beautiful lady. I will miss seeing her posts on FB. I pray she is at peace and surrounded by angels.
