Mary Ann and Family, I am so very sorry to hear of your Dad’s passing, but knowing that he is happy with your Mom in Heaven makes me feel much better. You are all in my thoughts and Prayers. I have many happy memories with your Dad through the years as he was very special to both Louie and me. We always enjoyed stopping in to see both your Dad and your Mom many years ago. He was a very special person and I always felt so good after chatting with him. God Bless each and every one of you.
Love
Mary Ann

Mary Ann and Rusty, and the entire family. We are all grieving the loss of a wonderful man. He will always be remembered as a kind, gentle man. But as we move forward, we will be able to celebrate his live, and enjoy the memories. I am so glad that we all got together at our August picnic, if was wonderful talking with my Great Uncle Marion. We love you all,
Dan, Alana, Nicholas and Olivia Carey
Maryann, Rusty and Susan:
We were so saddened to hear about Uncle Marion, passing. Even Luke, my 8 year old, remarked “Aww…he was at the reunion last year” Such is the mark of the man, that one tiny moment with him resonated in the memory of a child. Likewise, my memories of him are not dissimilar: the warmth of his handshake and his embrace always made me feel as if we were the best of friends (even though we saw each other infrequently) and his smiles to me seemed always to convey that he and I were sharing a private joke amongst ourselves. Like his brothers, he was – and, to me, will always remain – a man of principle and inner strength.
Take solace: “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. (Matthew5:4). I will see you all tomorrow as we celebrate his life!
Love,
Mark, Julia, Mark, Jr., Max and Luke.
Dear Mary Ann, Rusty, and Susan,
Really saddened to hear about Uncle Marion. Just the other night I thought of another time when he fooled my dad at Grandma and Grandpa Care’s house. Believe it or not , by the light of a kerosene lantern,we were playing bingo. My dad was calling the numbers. Anyway, and here my memory gets a little foggy, Uncle Marion is with my brother Joe I think, My dad finally wised up when after about three games your dad was calling bingo. You got it. Uncle Marion was jotting down the numbers and after a sufficient amount of numbers were called your dad would tell my brother yell bingo. A lot of fond memories, including mouthing off to him and him catching me before a got fifty yards down the road. He is missed already .
Love to you and yours
Cousin Ron
