I am so sorry to hear about Marion. We had a very different relationship living across the street from each other. Being disabled myself Marion would contact me and see how I was. And I her.
She was a very kind and caring person. I am having a lot of trouble looking across the street.
I wish Bob and Marion’s family peace and comfort at this very difficult time.
