To Marian’s family~
Please accept the sympathy of Marian’s other family – The Arc. She and her husband were such important people to the movement in the 50’s and 60’s. Without their passion, lives of the mentally retarded would not be as good as they are to day.
Please know we are remembering her efforts on behalf of The Arc.
Aunt Tommie was one of a kind!! Such a caring and genuine person. She will be missed greatly by the “Barnett” family! Her faith in God truly got her where she was in life- God Bless her~

Our prayers and care are with each of you. Your mother’s gift of caring touched many individuals and families at St. Matthew’s over the years. She was such a faithful, beloved friend to me and our family. I will truly miss her and will hold her in prayer.
