Marie was my sister’s best friend for many years. I was 10 years younger, but had the great good fortune to go on several adventures with my sister, Dennie Colleran and Marie. I loved her laugh and her quiet sense of humor. She was a true friend and a wonderful person. I am so sorry for your loss but my hope is now she is in heaven with Dan and Dennie and they are up to creating many fun times for all the angels and saints!
Rick< ia m so sorry for the loss of your mother. While I had never met her, she sounds like such a gracious and generous woman. May God grant you and your family comfort. I am sure she is enjoying her eternal reward.
My thoughts and prayers are with you. I fondly remember Marie when I am sewing but will never be able to match her impeccable work. She was truly an artist!
Jerry, Rick and family, May the heavenly angels take your mother to greet God our Father.
You are in our thoughts and prayers. May God give you peace and comfort.

Dear Rick and family, Sending prayers your way at this most difficult time. Your mom left such a beautiful legacy in her children and grandchildren. Keep your memories close and speak of her often. May her memory always be a blessing.
Rick, sending my sympathy and prayers for you and your family. Your mom was a sweet woman. I remember how gracious she was when we took the CTK youth group to Spaulding to tube down the river. Wishing you peace.
Fly high Marie to the arms of God. So sorry for your loss, God keep Marie and your family close. I knew Marie when I worked in Activities at HP, and she was a sweet, kind person and never missed our daily workout class. You are in my thoughts & Prayers. Marge Shade
