My sincerest prayers and condolences to Marian's family. I had the great priviledge of bringing Jesus to Marian and Elizabeth at their home. It was such a blessing for me whenever I visited. I loved Marian's sweet and loving disposition and her happy smile which always brightened my whole day.
I especially enjoyed hearing the stories of her childhood and later professional life. Her pride and love for her husband, parents, siblings, children and grandchildren overflowed in those stories. Her deep and profound Catholic faith, love of Jesus and His Blessed Mother and respect for Church teaching inspired me in my own faith.
I know that Marian was welcomed into eternity by Her Lord with the words, "Well done, good and faithful servant!" And I rejoice that she felt again the warm embrace of her dear daughter, Therese, whom we so often talked about, along with all her loved ones waiting for her.
Eternal rest grant unto Marian, O'Lord. May your perpetual light shine upon her.
Love, Christy
