Dear Members of K. Marie's family.
I knew Marie in Madrid. What a joy-filled person she was with many
accomplishments. She was the center of some fun sing-a-long times.
Her brown eyes often had a special twinkle to them. I am sure heaven is song-filled with a happy reunion with the Lord and Marie's loved ones.
My sympathy and prayers, Mary Louann, P.B.V.M.
