We delivered Meals on Wheels to Marian week and we miss her gentle smile and the pups miss their little biscuits. We think of her often.

Marian was always so kind to me and I miss her sense of humor. We could all learn a lot from her and the way she carried herself with dignity and grace. Go Mariners!

I will miss our back and forth phone calls and the emails she would forward on to me to keep me up to date on my cousins. The Lord has gained another angel in his heavenly home.

We always looked forward to Fridays, when my wife Karin, our dogs Bert, Ernie and Millie would bring a Meals on Wheels lunch to Marian. Inevitably she would be sitting in her favorite chair, reading a book. One I noticed was about Eleanor Roosevelt, whom I believe she admired. She was always gracious and always had a little dog biscuit for each of our little dogs. Always a smile and always cheerful. She told me of delivering Meals on Wheels with her husband and was grateful that what she sowed, she also reaped. Fridays will never be quite the same without her.
