"We are so sorry to learn of the death of your dear mother. I have known Marion since 1980 and loved seeing her at the conventions. She was a special woman. We were very close when I lived in Newport and belonged to the CPO wives. I knew your dad and loved him. He was always so funny and great to be around. God Bless you all."

I remember that whenever I saw her she had the biggest smile for me and always made me feel that she was incredibly happy to see me. She had that way about her. I'm going to try to make it to the wake today or tonight. I haven't been feeling too well but I want to pay my respect. Love you both! Debbie Foley"
