Janet and family,
My condolences to you on the loss of Marian. My favorite memories of her will be the the Three Kings picture on her wall, her descriptions of the different nativity sets she had, and the way she spoke so lovingly about her family and friends. She blessed my life in the short time I knew and visited with her. God bless you all and know you are in my prayers.
