    Being one of the youngest first cousins, when Marie and Jim were first married, I was rather young and most family gatherings found me running around and looking to play. Marie always took me aside and asked me how I was doing and what was going on in my life. I always remembered that. I didn’t attach a name to it until I was much older. But it was kindness. I remember all those moments that Marie spent a few minutes with me at family events. Her kindness is a memory I have never forgot. Condolences to Jim and all the children and grands. May her memory be a blessing.
