Mr. Colorito, Gina, Anita and Miss Curtis,
I was shocked, saddened and lost for words when I heard of Mama C's passing. I am happy to have fond memories of her and I can't imagine the amazing memories you all have. Though it has been awhile, I can hear her voice like it was yesterday. You're in my thoughts and my sincere sympathy to all of you.

My heartfelt sympathy, prayers, and thoughts are with Gene, Anita, Gina, Louella, Marge, Marie's siblings, and Grandchildren during this most difficult and painful time!
Marie was a wonderful woman with a beautiful soul who was loved by so many and will be missed by all!!
I have many fond memories of Marie in high school and especially at the Youth Center. The kids couldn't wait for the week-end when Marie was scheduled to work. They loved her back 40 years ago as much as they love and cherish her today! She was such a positive role model and her leadership, influence, compassion, and kindness have touched many lives!

The angels looked down from heaven Marie,
They searched for miles afar,
And deep within the distance
They could see a shining star.
They knew that very instant
That the star was theirs to gain,
So they took you up to heaven
Forever to remain.
Look down on us from heaven
Keep us free from hurt and pain,
You'll always be within our hearts
Until we all meet again.
