Marion and Bill were neighbors on Capisic St., when I was growing up. They were an elegant couple. Later, after Marion lost Bill and my dad, Clarence, lost my mother, they became great friends. They traveled the country as part of the rose world. Marion was the best friend my father could have had all those years. Thank you, and rest in peace, Marion
Sending my deepest sympathy for all.
She is my first cousin.
Marion was such a lovely and kind woman. My heart goes out to all who loved her.
Marion was the best neighbor. She was funny, fun-loving, kind and thoughtful. I never tired of her stories about traveling the world with her husband and attending rose shows with her dear friend Clarence.
