I have several Wonderful memories of my Aunt Marie. First and foremost was her "Beautiful Smile" and "Infectious Laugh". You couldn't help but smile yourself when you were around her. She always called you "Sweety" and was so glad to see you. I enjoyed my many visits with Marie while she was in the nursing home. She'd always show me the photos of Dick, Judy and Ernie and it was evident how much she Loved them. We'd talk about how she was such a hard worker and how Beautiful she always made everything look! I never saw a home any cleaner than Marie's! She sure had a sense of humor and a whole lot of "spunk". She kept the staff at the nursing home entertained with her sayings - one of which was "Believe It Or Not Ripley!". I think one of the things I've learned from Marie is what a smile can do to brighten someone's day. Also, even though life can throw us all some tough blows, we have to keep our sense of humor. Laughter is so healing. You will be greatly missed Aunt Marie, but I'm so happy for you that you are at peace and finally reunited with all your loved ones. You sure are in Great company! We will never forget you and your Beautiful smile and laughter! My sincerest sympathies go out to both Dick and Judy! I know what it's like to have both your parents pass and I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. May God Bless you, comfort you and surround you with his peace and love at this most difficult time!

Not only was Marie's smile & sense of humor contagious, I alway's remember feeling much better about myself after a visit with Marie...part of that might be she would laugh at my jokes. I usually tried out my new material on Marie. I reme...mber after Ernie passed and I was home visiting Dad / Morrie, he would always say let's stop over at Marie's because she needs help with various stuff around the house. I don't remember Dad & I ever doing anything but boy did we eat good! Judy & Dick, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your families.

Being a grandchild of Lester and Faith, I got to see the fun times they shared as family with your mom and dad. Marie was always kind to me and she had a great sense of humor...she and my grandma (Lucy and Ethel) were quite a pair! I am so sorry for your loss. I am sure she had a great Schremp welcome into heaven.

I will always remember Aunt Marie's beautiful smile and contagious laughter. :-) She was such a joy to be around!!! She in now in great company with her Ernie and many friends & family members. My thoughts & prayers are with Judy & Dick at this time. I am sorry for your loss.

We will always remember Marie because of her kindness and humor. Dee and I recieved both from her in abundance. She was never judgemental and always supportive. Conversations with Marie always ended with laughter. Of course we will never forget her friendship with Faith. They were quite a pair together. Last year Dee and I visited Marie During the visit she pointed to the pictures she had of Judy and Dick. She was very proud of both.The world is a little sadder today now that she has left but she will live on for us in the many fond memories that we have to remember her by. God needed Ernie 27 years ago. It is nice that they can be together once more.
