Condolence: Marie, you've served your purpose, enjoyed life, and made others smile. What a wonderful person you were. You will be missed at Delaware Manor. Make them smile in Heaven...

Condolence: I first met Marie at my interview for an usher position at DeVos. She was kind enough to reschedule my appt. because I had another commitment. I got to know her as I began working for her. I always enjoyed making her laugh. She had the respect and admiration from not only her staff, but many of the city's most well known patrons who attended various performances over the years or worked for the various arts groups who performed there. I will miss her, and I pray that her loved ones will have many wonderful memories to reflect on as they grieve her loss.

Condolence: During Marie's years at DeVos Hall she was so very kind to my parents. As my father became more and more dependent on others, Marie was always a breath of fresh air - - - she treated him with great respect and good humor. And Marie was always pretty darned wonderful to me! She was a treasure. Rest in peace, Marie. . .
