I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I worked with Marie many years ago at United Memorial. She was a wonderful lady and I always enjoyed working with her. She had a great laugh.

To Marie's Family
I stopped at a McDonald's in St. Johns and looked at the paper lying there and was surprised to see Marie's obit. I am so glad I was able to get the news. Sid and I both thought the world of Marie. She was a great lady and a very good friend. We visited her several times in Greenville and a few times in St. Johns. She had a long full life which is what we all are trying to do. I will miss her letters and the news of her family. Sid really liked Henry and liked working with him. I would like more information about the Flat River Community Library--address etc.
I am thinking of your family in this sad time.

Sid passed away December 16, very suddenly and I am still spending winters in CA and summers in Cadillac.
