To Marion’s family,
I’ve gotten to know your Marian as a deliverer for the Wells Meals on Wheels. While our time together on those day was brief, it was always a joy for me to see her. She was always thankful for her meal and our quick chats. Her kindness was evident in her soft words and smiling eyes. Blessed be her memory.
Marian was a wonderful and caring lady. Always a smile. Jerry, Dean and Donna, so sorry for your loss. She lived a full life. Hugs and God Bless.
