"My great aunt Marie was a woman of strong character. She was so full of life and always happy. She was always smiling, and when she did her face would light up like a star shining at night. She was so unbelievably warm and kind and friendly to all she met. I know that I have not seen or talked to her in years, but my memories of her and uncle Jim from when I was a kid are ones that I will cherish forever. My great aunt Marie is and always will be remembered and missed. We love you dearly."
