Condolences

Elizabeth Mitchell February 3, 2023
My deepest condolences for the family. Marion loved hers boys unconditionally and was extremely proud of both. Marion was one of my lifelong best friends, and that will never change. She has a heart bigger than anyone I know and was loved by so many. She touched so many lives. Marion, Sandra, and I were known as the 3 sisters. We always laughed and stood by each other. We were there for the highs and lows. If one of us needed the others, we would always be there. She loved her furbabies 100%. Sister could sing beautifully, and we all had a blast dancing. There are so many memories that I will carry in my heart. Fly high and happy, sis, they needed another beautiful voice to join the angel choir. I love you, and you are in Heaven's with all of your loved ones now. We will see each other again. Always in my heart Your Sis Elizabeth
