  32. Linda & Robert Trainor

    Dear Cindy, John, & family,

    Was so sorry to hear about Marie. I dropped into to see her once when she was in Mahone & everytime I’d be down in the area I’d say I should go see Marie sometime. Sometime never came & that is my fault. Marie was such a joy to be around. We sang in the choir together as well being in the UCW. I will miss her & Reta. They both loved having company come in to visit, & at that time I was only a few houses up the street. She had a good life & now has joined her sister, Reta. May God bless you all at this time of sorrow. Family was everything to her, especially her grandsons, she spoke very highly of them. Take care & know that someday we will see our loved ones when we are called home. God Bless
