To Marie’s family, I’m so very sorry for your loss. Marie was quite a lady. I have never seen her mad or upset, well maybe once or twice at Scoot, but she always had a smile on her face and always had such a good disposition. After all she has been through, she was happy. I know you have lost a very special lady in your lives, always hold her memory close to your hearts. You are in my thoughts, Annamae Baker
