My heart and prayers go out to you all.
I have had the great fortune to have been Marie's neighbour for over 10 years. Marie was the kindest person I have ever met. She kept to herself mostly, but there were times that we had conversations. When I lent books to Donna Potter (another neighbour), Donna would then give them to Marie to read. I would come home from work to find neatly deposited on my breezeway step, a carefully wrapped bag of books that she had returned. Just recently I assisted Marie with getting her compost to the weekly truck. She was in great spirits that day, concerned about getting every leaf gone once and for all!
I will miss Marie very much, her wave, her meek "hello", and seeing the solitary light burning in her side window.
May God watch over all of you during this difficult time.
