In Memoriam

Marie Edwards
1951-2009


If tolling bell I ask the cause.
'A soul has gone to God,'
I'm answered in a lonesome tone;
Is heaven then so sad?

That bells should joyful ring to tell
A soul had gone to heaven,
Would seem to me the proper way
A good news should be given.

Emily Dickinson,
(1830 - 1886)

Marie Edwards passed away on August 5, 2009.  Although she was aware that her health issues were serious, she persisted in believing she would be able to attend the reunion in Sept. 2009.   Sadly, she was stricken by a stroke on July 31, 2009 and died at her home with her family at her side a few days later.

Marie was a kind and sweet person who showed courage and faith.  She chose to live as if there would always be tomorrows.

We will miss her determined spirit.

Marie was a sweet spirited person who always had a good word and a smile for anyone. I was fortunate to know Marie and also her daughter Christina. I pray that her children and grandchildren will find peace in knowing that she is soaring with the angels and glistening in heaven.

Marie was a great person, always smiling and sweet. In high school she and Mabel hung out. I thought they were cousins and Marie told me that actually Mabel is her aunt! That was funny because they were both basically the same age. Marie was so helpful with the reunion planning, she knew so much about so many people and connections. We simply could not have done this without Marie. She was full of information. That girl got around. Marie and I had a conversation one evening after our meeting was over. She told me that when her time came regarding her health, that she would not stay in a hospital but would go home and be with her family...and she did. Marie did it her way. God bless her soul. I know she's soaring in heaven...we'll miss you, Marie. It was an honor knowing you.
