Dearest Marie - It has been an honor & privilege to have you in my life for the past 30 years and in my home for the past 12 years. Like Sandy, you were much more than just a Mother-In-Law to me. You willingly and effortlessly jumped into the role of my Mother 18 years ago during the darkest time of my life. But most important to me....I could never have dreamt of having a better mentor and role model for my son. With Mike by your side, you helped Michael and I mold Matt into the ourstanding young man he has become. Your unique "Marie'isms" will live on in our hearts forever. We promise to remember and practice the life-lessons you taught us by example. Especially those about the importance of love, laughter, family and friends in our lives. I raise my glass, with white zinfandel in it, to a wonderful wife, mother, grandma and friend who always did it "Her Way".
