Marie was a dear friend. I have so many memories of Marie - New York bus trips, Halloween dress up dances, girls get together at the shore house, OC trip, trips to West Virginia to visit Mary, getting together with friends for lunch, and so many more! Marie was a unique person she always made you laugh and it was just so enjoyable to be around her. I'm going to miss her and will always remember her with a smile on my face.

She was one of a kind and certainly the best kind!! She had a heart so big that she welcomed everyone of us as a family member when she met us. My only regret is not getting back to MD to see her again before she passed. We talked on the phone and she knew I loved her. She will be forever in my heart and memories. Marie, say hi to dad for me, I'm sure he was there telling you that you did a "pretty darn good" job!! Hugs!!

Marie was my friend, a mentor, and my adopted mother. She took me under her wing and gave me strength when needed. She was loving and kind to all. We laughed and cried at times, but she always remained positive and was a strong woman and guided others through their troubles. She made the world a better place to live.
Marie, I will miss you more than you realize and will keep you in my heart for the rest of my life.
