To all of Marie's family and friends my deepest sympathy. She was like a sister to me--the one I never had. We met about 46 years ago in Asheville and from the first time we met I knew she was someone very special. We were able to take little "Thelma and Louise" trips together for which I will always be grateful. She will always have a special place in my heart. I love her and miss her terribly.
