    To the Family of Marion, my deepest condolences. She was my friend, my teacher, my protector. I totally admired Marion for her knowledge, tenacity, and honesty. We worked together for many years at KMart in Rockland, until my transfer to New Hampshire in 1992. Unfortunately we lost contact after awhile, but, she was the kind of person you could not forget for a moment, you will be dearly missed my old Friend, RIP. I was happy to hear after all those years Richard, you and Marion finally married. How wonderful you made her life.

    To the family of Marion, I am so very saddened to hear of her passing. I was totally shocked as she was fine the last time I saw her when it was Starr's grooming day. The things I will always remember about her was the love she had for her little dog, she used to save the bandanas I would put on Starr and wash & iron them and bring them back to me! Whenever she would pick up Starr she would say "the Mums is here now" and then when she was leaving she would say "time to go see the Dads" and Starr would be so happy to see her she would be wiggling all over. She was a wonderful lady and I am so thankful I got to know her and I will really miss her. I feel so bad for all of you & for Starr who won't understand where her Mums is. Praying for you all and for Marion in Heaven, Lori Soper
