Kay McClelland says
I am so sorry to hear of Marie’s passing. We had a lot of fun when she visited (with Bob) us in Mexico. She was a great cook and entertained us wonderfully when we visited Racine. In the 90’s we had lots of laughs at Meadowbrook, during golf and at lunch or dinner afterwards. I have been out of town and didn’t read until today about Marie’s passing or I would have come to the service. Kay McClelland
