Marie loved animals, especially cats. When I found a stray kitten with fleas and mange that I wanted to keep but did not have permission from my apartment complex, Marie kept and took care of the kitten until I could take it home. The kitten was named Kismet, Marie fell in love with it, and gave me a book of pictures she had taken of ‘Kizzie’. I think she may have wanted to keep her, but she sent her on with me anyway. I am forever grateful to Marie for this special kindness. (I wish I could post the picture here. - [see below! - micheleen])
Marie’s sister Pat was a very good artist, so I bought one of her paintings. Marie had a rock taken from the rocks in the painting and gave it to me. The painting with its rock continues to be one of my treasures. (wish I could post that too [done - micheleen]).
What wonderful memories she has left us! The world was a better place because of Marie.
