Dear Pat,
I just recently found out about Marion and am so sorry for you and your family. She was such a lovely person, always smiling and always willing to help whether it was children, parents or teachers. During her long career at the Mount Carmel school, Marion was a very calming influence during what could be very busy days. It’s been many years since I’ve seen her but I can still picture her wonderful smile.
Our sincerest condolences,
Beth and Pat

Steve and I were saddened to hear the news about Marion.
Our heartfelt sympathy and sincere hugs of condolence goes out to each of you, Pat, Jane, Jacqueline, Susan and your families.
Marion was a wonderful lady and friend. Mount Carmel School was a happier place because of her smile and warm personality. She was a great secretary/ambassador.
One fond memory I have of Marion is how helpful she was to me during report card time. After spending so many long weeks preparing reports, Marion offered to type out my final comments to make it one step easier for me. I will be forever grateful. We will miss you, Marion.
May God hold you in the palm of his hand and may your family feel your love and spirit surrounding them each day. Rest in peace, my friend.
