"When the enemy death strikes your grief can be great. It's never the right time to say goodbye to a loved one. Death too to many seems to be a part of life. It's during times such as these that we can find comfort in the Lord's Prayer in Matthew 6:9, 10 ~ "Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified. Let your kingdom come. Let your will take place, as in heaven, also upon earth". Only God's (Psalms 83:18) Kingdom can bring peace, happiness, perfect health, and everlasting life.

"Gayle and I are saddened to hear of Marie's passing Without a doubt she is one of the most heroic people I have met and come to know. When I think of Marie the words generous, selfless, loving, humble, caring, gracious and unselfish come to mind. I pray that by miracle or by chance someone can fill that void. She left us and the people of Haiti too soon. "
