We've known and loved Marie and Robert for more than 25 years. I'll never forget our teenaged son, Garrett, coming home after a visit to them with Pete where Robert showed him his colostomy bag! Garrett was a little overwhelmed! Marie has always been fun to be around. Her laugh is contagious. And her memory was always amazing. She knew what each of our children were up to, and even kept up with our grandkids names and activities when they came along. She has been family to us and we will miss her dearly. Pete and I were so impressed by her attitude during Covid when she was cooped up at Silver Arrow. She was philosophical about it and didn't complain. Her example of cheerfulness and kindness bless us every day. We hate to lose her, but are happy that she is free from pain and having reunions with those who have gone before her.

Mr Robert & Ms Marie were our neighbors since 2002. They were quite a couple! After Mr Robert passed, we got even closer to Ms Marie. I would go over and visit and the memory that will stay with us forever was her laugh! We would be talking and iI would tell her something and she would laugh sooo hard she would have tears running down her face. Her laugh was contagious and will be forever cherished! She was also the BEST neighborhood watch neighbor. She knew everyone’s vehicles, including our kids and you always got a call if some stranger pulled in the driveway! I have so many stories and memories that I will forever cherish! Paul and I loved her. May God wrap His loving and compassionate arms around the family and give them peace, knowing this was not goodbye, but will see her again someday!
