Mrs Marie was the sweetest person I know, and was so happy to see us every two weeks, unless we had put something up that she could not find! Then she was not to happy with us, and would put us in our place. But we loved her so very much and was so glad to be there to help her when ever she needed it. She really loved her coat, even if she didnt need a new one. Rest in peace sweetheart we love and will miss you.
