Tributes
"Nana so much time has gone by since you left us, and we still miss you, your sense of humor and seeing your smiling face. I thank you for always making us feel so welcome and how happy you would be to see us. You always expressed your love when we went to visit you! We miss how you felt you had to feed us, and miss your pineapple upside down cakes, and peanut butter and banana sandwiches. Recently your precious daughters, Aunt Carol & Aunt Donna joined you with God. Our prayers are now with their families. We take comfort in knowing you are All watching over us. Please tell our Dad we miss him terribly-still, and always will. We love you all so much! Until we meet again, XO! All our love, Sherrie, Sandi, & Carolee"
"Nana, It has been almost 2 years now, and missing you doesn't get any easier. During these holiday times it is even worse. Thanksgiving dinner is not the same without you. I miss you telling your "pretty" fibs, decorating your pumpkin pie, and just the constant smile on your face. I want to thank you for helping Mom get through all of this cancer stuff. I should have known you would. You could have been selfish and brought her home to you, but that was never you. We had so much to be thankful for this year, I just wish you could have been there with us. I love you and miss you!"
"mrs.marley will be missed by her grand daughter Cindy Corey. she will also be missed be the rest of her family."
"We will miss Nana Marley dearly, but she certainly will not be forgotten. She truly was an amazing woman even right through to the end....She kept that wonderful sense of humor and still had compassion for everyone else.I can't express how happy I am that I was given the chance to see her again before she passed.I keep thinking back to all of her wonderful meals and how much I looked forward as a child to going to Rhode Island to see Nana and sample her delicious foods. We always had a ton of fun when we were there and Nana always made each one of us feel special and loved.There are plenty of sweet memories.I love you Nana Banana...til we meet again."
"Wealthy was a very lovely lady whom I thought a great deal of. I'm sure a memory of her will remain in everyone's heart. With Deepest Simpathy Pat Soares & Family"
