Erin,
You and your mom are loved by many.
While your mom is physically gone, her spirit continues, and she'll never be forgotten by those who knew her.
Please know that your mom's angelic fudge will live on, as she divulged her secret recipe to Suzie, who will continue to make "Marye's Fudge" each year at Christmas.

Dear Erin,
So sorry to hear of your mother's passing. I worked at the front desk of the YW and visited with her often over the years. She loved all the little children in her care and they loved her. May she rest in peace.
