Dear Rolland and family,
My thoughts & prayers are with all of you at this sad time.
I knew Marie for many years and always loved having a visit with both of you when I would deliver the avon. We always had so many laughs.
I still have a couple of tea towels she gave me.
Cherish fond memories.
Marie will be missed by many.
May GOD bless each of you daily.
Lovingly, Diane
