Sharon, Sorry to read of the loss of your Mom. God bless!

We only spent time with Marion at busy and relatively hectic times like weddings and other family gatherings. We will always remember her as a positive and uplifting person who will be dearly missed by all who knew her. Our prayers and sympathies go out to all of her family and friends.

To the family of Marian,

My sincere condolences to your family on the loss of a beautiful soul - our consolation being that we all meet again in a perfect world.
I first heard all about a very wonderful lady named Grandma Marian from all 4 of my children after she welcomed them into her heart upon meeting them. I had the privilege of getting acquainted with her at showers that Marilyn and I did for my daughters' babies. Marian was warm, kind, and fun to talk to - what a gift! We made plans to get together and take a trip to the "place", but never made it. I'm thankful I got to know her, although too briefly.
God's Blessings to all of you.
Gwen Tatera
