Dear Tommy and family,
I was saddened to read of your Moms passing. She was a wonderful lady and a great neighbor to me here at the Senior housing. She was a font of knowledge on Adams County whenever I couldn’t remember someone I could always call Marie and she could always give me the answer or point me in the right direction. She will be sorely missed. My deepest sympathy to all of you.
Sincerely,
Pat (Ma) Sorensen

Nikki, Linda and Family,
Another Angel to look over you. I remember her at Goggins when us girls would come to town for piano lessons. Between lessons next door, we would walk over to get a nickel Laffy Taffy. She was always so kind and a smile on her face. As a shy kid, seeing her face in that store gave me comfort. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
She was such a dear person. We loved meeting her at Bri and David’s wedding! We enjoyed receiving many cards from her that were thoughtfully written with love. Your family was blessed to have her. Sending our condolences for you all.
So sorry for your loss. I have such great memories of working with Marie at Sather’s, my first job. She was great fun to work with and I enjoyed learning from her.
Sorry to hear of Marie’s passing.Her history of Adams and her generous sharing of it was great.RIP.
I’m very sorry for your loss. I have fond memories of her from Goggins. She was so very nice and patient with a kid who wasn’t the greatest at counting change for the candy they wanted to buy.
Rick, Linda and family, So sorry for your loss. Our sincere condolences during this difficult time. Mike and Sue Moran
Marie was a wonderful lady and I will miss her. When she came to Villa she asked me how my “spots” were doing that I broke out in the previous time she was there. The last day I saw her she said to me “take my temperature and let me die”. She will be missed dearly.
Linda & Family, I am so sorry for the loss of your Mom.
