Aunt Marion was truly a very remarkable & caring aunt. I will never forget the time she spent at our house looking after our mother (her sister) which enabled mom to stay at home during her final weeks. Long conversations & she would always make my favorite butterscotch pie which no one could make better than her! My sincere condolences to Uncle Ed & the rest of the family. Oh I can hear the laughter in heaven now with you & mom reunited. - Posted by: Darlene Barber (niece) on: Jul 21, 2012
