  2. I Love you so much. I love you so much. You were always the classiest, sweetest, smartest mother. Always had the words to make things heal. You still are – we talk all the time. But I miss you so much in this world.

  4. Marian was a woman of grace, insight & intelligence, compassion and a fun-loving sense of humor. I enjoyed her company in our book club at South Regional Library in Th Woodlands and our lunches at local restaurants. She was a lovely role model and friend. God bless her. I keep her in my prayers.
