Our entire family is deeply saddened for the loss of one of our dearest friends and the best neighbor anyone could ever have. Marian's love for life was evident in everything she did. From her devotion to her family to her precious christmas goodies, she never hesitated to let you know she cared. If there is anything we can do, please let us know.

Even though we didn't see one another as much as I would have liked, Marian and I always stayed in touch, remembered one another's birthdays, and kept up with news about our familes. I still find it hard to believe that I will no longer be hearing from or ever seeing my sister, Marian, again.
...I have always admired the way she kept her door open to the needs of her children and grandchildren. She was a good woman and will be missed by all of us who loved her.

Mom it has only been one week and 3 days that you have exited our lives, and for me it is harder today than when you passed. I miss you so much, and wish I could call and talk with you. You are forever in my heart with your bright smile. I love you mom, and may you be brightening up Heaven with your smile now.

How sad I was to hear that Marian has left us. She always was there with a smile and laugh that would brighten your spirits. And how she always talked about Joe, her children and her beloved grandchildren. Always live with your hearts full knowing that she loved her family each and every day of her life. Thank you to each of the family members for sharing Marian with us. I so truly enjoyed knowing her, working with her, and I and will miss her.

To Marian's Family
We were so fortunate to have a ray of sunshine right next door to us for over 25 years.The only thing hard about leaving Colo.Sprgs. was not having Marian &Joe as neighbors any more. Marian, we will miss you so much & can't express how much your friendship meant to us. Our condolences to all.

You will be with me in my heart forever. No words can express the love you have always given me, through the good and the bad you were always there to comfort me. I miss you mom so much, but know you are near. You have gone but never to be forgotten.

I love you.....
