We met Marie back in the 70’s at the Basin Rd branch of the bank. She steered us through a couple of problems with our account, and we became fast friends. She and Phil were great friends with my parents and often attended educational functions together whilePhil was a great mentor to me as I rose in the educational leadership ranks. We understand that she is in a better place and is no longer suffering, but we will remember her kindness and friendship forever. Rest in peace, Marie.
Vicki and Joe
Jean, you know how much we love you, and loved your parents. You are part of our family and we will strive to help you “be ok” (as promised). Marie was a wonderful woman; please keep in mind she’s reunited with Phil and Drew. Hopefully that thought, and your memories, will give you the strength you need.
