Marie,
You were always so much fun to be around. Your sense of humor was totally contagious and you always had your dogs! You are a beautiful person and I am glad my mother knew you and considered you her friend. I can see how such a friendship would develop for you both and it is through her that I came to know you and your family. Also all great people. Thanks for letting us be kids at your house and sharing your love of life with us. God bless you.
To Marie’s children: thank you for being such fine people and for taking care of your mother. You four were her total pride and joy. I know you will miss her cause that is the way it is supposed to be. It’s through our mamas that we learn to love and accept and grow into being the people who we eventually become. May you find comfort in your memories with and of her and of one another and may they carry you over the hurdles you have forthcoming in the next few days. She would want you to carry on with your heads held high and your hearts filled with love and laugh when you can because she sure would. Let her spirit of love and laughter lift you and may God be with you all. Bless you, Sharon Hardiman, formerly Barfield.
