I knew Marie from Savannah High School. She was in my art class and I loved her. I can see her now, laughing with Eloise. She had such a sweet spirit and she loved to laugh! We graduated in 1969 and I didn’t see her again until my Mom was in Hospice and Marie was a nurse there. She was so wonderful to my Mom and I knew that Mom was getting the best care because Marie was the best.
Marie’s light will shine forever in the heavens and she is held in the arms of Jesus.
My deepest condolences to you and your family classmate.
My deepest condolences to Theresa and her family. May God comfort and keep you all. ????????
