I’m so very sorry for your loss. Marilee, reading your mom’s obituary has brought back a lot of wonderful memories growing up with you and all those Sundays the church group watched Wizard of Oz at your family home! Your parents were great roll models and I know you’ll have a hole in your heart. May your mom rest in peace. God Bless. Debi Miller Clementi
