Marie’s and Harold’s love for each other has been an inspiration to their children. He has said she was the best thing that ever happened to him. Marie was a strong hard-working woman, and was always a positive role model to her children. She loved the Lord and taught her children to put Christ first.

He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away, and He who sits on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” -Revelations 21: 4-5 This tribute was lovingly written in honor of Marie by her family.
