Marion-I still miss you. I remembered a message when you called me thanking me for the Josh Allen plaque for your bday. Although you didn’t like getting gifts, you loved this one. You went on and on, and then told each one of you love us. 
Dear God, I sure hope I can be as clear headed as you were up  until your last breath. I know you were ready to go after Gloria passed. Can’t blame you. 
This past weekend your pic came up on my phone and I happened to be with a table with a newbie from Buffalo. She knew your street. I thought small world and Marion is still looking over me. Thanks for the wink. Love you. You were all amazing lady.

Marion was the sweetest lady, she will be missed.

Marion,  
Quincy wanted one more visit with you.  We wish it could have happened.  I know you were ready.  You will be missed here.  You and Gloria were the cornerstones of our neighborhood.  It is sad walking past your door.
May you now be at peace.
Love,
Laurel

Dear Marion. I wish I was able to get you on the phone that one last time. You went from cheerful in rehab with a sense of humor, to so sad when you truly realized  of your younger sister, Gloria’s, sudden passing. I am so sad for you that  it happened that way. You knew God had his plan and you decided you had nothing else to live for since your best friend was now gone! It’s like some married couples go quickly together like that. I know you passed because of a broken heart and even before that you asked me why are people allowed to live so long. You knew your mind was sharp as a tack but your body was failing. You were tired. You wanted to be with your sister and you got your wish. I will truly miss speaking to you and talking about football, your interest in our family and always giving us all your love. I Love You Marion forever. You made my world a better place. I will always remember you. ❤️💔😘😘😘 Love, Heidi-Lee
PS. I tried to send silk flowers but the cemetery denied my delivery. I’ll send you flowers in the Spring!!! Hope you have many flowers on your grave tomorrow . You deserve dozens of red roses.  I guess they remove all the flowers October 1 because of all Buffalo’s snow.

Marion accompanied my mom to take me (probably 1) to visit my Grandparents over seas. Marion is holding me. We bonded early on and she meant so much to me my entire life. She and my dad had a huge influence on who I am today.  She and I were both breast cancer survivors and both had a left lymphatic arm.  What are those chances?  would ask her, are you sure we are not related?? . 😂my Mother never had any cancer. Oncologists and tests said mine was environmental at age 37! She was really there for me during that time. Gloria and Marion were both awesome prayer warriors too!!

I look young. This was some kind of celebration. My mom and Marion were best friends in the day. Marion also was like a second mom to me. Sometimes I would send her Mother’s Day cards. I will miss speaking to her, especially about the Bills. 
My mom and Marion took many trips together. Believe me, they had plenty of stories to tell!!! 
 Marion told me a few weeks ago St Croix as her favorite island. I must plan a visit there 🌴🎣

It was always so nice to have my Beloved Godmother, Marion,  be part of our family celebrations while she was able. She wouldn’t let me visit the last 10 years or so because she said it was too hard and she didn’t wanted me to remember her young. Last time my husband and two kids saw her when our son played baseball in cooperatown little league -that was about 14 years ago. 
She outlived my parents and aunt Hannelore. What a beautiful lady Marion was,  inside and out.
