I will always hold Marie in the highest regard. I loved her so very much. She was always so good to me and taught me so much. She made me, and my family feel we were a priority in her life. I enjoyed many moments with her outside of Cleveland Range as well, and I will always cherish my wonderful, happy and sometimes laughing to tears memories.
Pamela Clark

Dear Tina, Pam, and Steve, there are no words to express the sorrow in our heart. Your Mom would never forget to call on a birthday or holiday. She was Tony’s special secretary… always helping with his reports, especially with his spelling .
I was blessed to have talked to your Mom 2 days before her passing! She was always in our prayers and is now forever in our heart.
