The family humbly and gratefully thanks Missouri Slope

Marie and her family while she was a resident there.
Her greatest joys in life were her five daughters and her
grandchildren. "You raised us well, Mom, and we will miss
you and love you always! How difficult it is to let you go,
yet we hear now the sweet sounds of angels welcoming you
home, and through our sorrow is 'great' joy for your life."
