| Marion was a wonderful neighbor and friend during our years at Franklin Court. How she loved to watch all sports. She was warm and caring and appeared to love everyone. Our frequent phone chats kept us posted on what was happening in our lives. She will be missed by her family and many friends whose lives she touched. My sympathies to all her family. | | from: Lorraine B. Maloney | on: 08-02-2011 |
