    Mary, Jeanne, Anne and family, My thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this difficult time. Your Mom was one of my hero’s and I considered her a dear friend. I will miss her humor, her wisdom, her smile and her heart. She was one of a kind! I was lucky enough to share a lot of quality time with her and I will miss those times, but will cherish the memories. My heart will always have a special place for Mama “Z”. Peace be with you my friend.

    Marian was a dear friend who never met a stranger. With friends around the world she was loved by everyone. God bless her as he takes her home to the place he has prepared for her. Her passing will leave deep hole in our hearts. But we will be comforted knowing she is with Christ Jesus.

    Bless you Marian for sharing a portion of your early life with us..
