She was so kind to me the last time I saw her as it was after my mom had just passed away. Her kind words and her smile just helped lift my spirits that day.
Mrs Marie you were a beautiful soul and our loss is heavens gain. May she Rest In Peace and prayers to Mr Ed and your entire family. |

| Posted by: Donna Kohlhafer Tue December 26, 2017 | I just sat at Gem's talking to your Mom three weeks ago and she went and got her iPad to show me everyone's picture and bring me up to date on everyone. We are shocked and saddened by this news. Marie was a fun lady that loved to laugh and she loved her family with the fierceness of a Momma Lion....please know we thought the world of her. Peace be with you. |

| Posted by: Linda and Larry McCabe Sun December 31, 2017 | Marie was a loving person who never hesitated to share her time and love. She changed the lives of many people thru her kindness and charity. Let us all remember her legacy of love. |
| Posted by: Donald W. Keefer Wed January 03, 2018 | Marie was an exceptional person. She personified the very best traits of human nature. When my Daughter Terry died, and my late wife , Muriel and I attended her memorial service, Marie and Ed took complete care of preparing our home, and the food for the reception. They did the same when my wife passed away, and I and my family attended the funeral. Marie and Ed never waited to be asked, they just saw a need and took care of it.
My present wife is Jewish, and the Jewish have a term for people like Marie and Ed. They are "mensches" meaning good people, the very best. My wife Mal immediately liked Marie when they met, and we prayed for her throughout her battle with cancer. We wished we could have socialized more than we were able, which bears out the saying "Live each day as though it will be your last." Spend as much time as possible with loved ones, for you nay not get the opportunity again. We will miss Marie and we offer our sincere condolences to Ed and the entire Leary family. |
| Posted by: Carolyn Bollino Fri January 05, 2018 | I first met Marie probably in late 1960's when our oldest sons were playing Little League baseball for Riviera Beach. I remember an instant friendship while we watched countless games and our "Debbie's" played around us. My late husband Chris and Ed became fast friends also. What fun we had going to dances at Earleigh Heights and the surrounding places who had fundraisers. Marie made many long dresses for me when they were in style and did lots of alterations as well. I miss those good old days when we would talk, laugh and dance the night away. She and Ed were the best. I have only great memories of times spent together. Marie was" one in a million". My deepest sympathies dear Ed, children and grandchildren. You are fortunate to have loved and been loved by such an extraordinary woman. I prayed that the Lord Jesus would welcome Her into His Kingdom and I am sure He has. May the Holy Spirit hold you and give you Peace no matter how long it takes. Love and Prayers, Carolyn Bollino and Family |
