    My condolences to all the family. I worked with Marie for 10+ years at Memorial Park and always enjoyed her stories ... especially her travelogs (I've wanted to go to the Panama Canal after her tales.) Marie always made room in her refrigerator for my "foodstuff' for my Kindergarten cooking events and loved when the children brought her a taste. There are thousands of adult children who have fond memories of her. She will be missed. Janet Peterson White

    I want to extend my heartfelt sympathies to Marie's family. I've known her for years, where she worked with my Mom at Memorial Park School. She also used to frequent my store (Rite Aid), to pick up greeting cards. She was a lovely lady and will be sorely missed. My Mom's been away on vacation, so she doesn't know about this yet and I will let her know when she's back. Whenever she used to come to Rockland for a visit, she always tried to make sure to see Marie. She'll be so saddened about this, but I know Marie's by God's side now!! May you find peace in your time of grief. God Bless.

    Having spent many hours back in my younger years at the ''Lynch's '' home, what great times I had with Mr. & Mrs. Lynch, Jeannie & Jimmy! There wasn't a time that we were not all laughing to the point we were crying over the jokes or whatever someone did! I will miss my Friday morning visits with Mrs. Lynch, she was a wonderful person and I will miss her very much. Mr. Lynch, my Dad & Ruth are all up there having a good time with her. May you rest in peace Mrs. Lynch. You will always have a special place in my heart. Love, Tricia

    Please accept my heartfelt condolences. My thoughts and sympathy are you at this time. I will always remember Mrs. Lynch and her humor and smile that was her real gift to others. I hope that you find some small comfort in all the good memories we had as kids in the bag pipers band. Peace
