marie


My step-grandmother Marie's funeral is this morning in Elizabeth City, NC. She passed away last Sunday after a battle with colon cancer. She was a kind and wonderful lady and was always so sweet to me and to anybody I brought home with me, especially David. Her grown kids are also great people and my thoughts are with them today; I wish I could be there.

Marie was my grandfather Roy's second wife; they had been sweethearts as teenagers before he met my grandmother, and after Grandmama died, Roy and Marie met again and married. Their happiness late in life was an inspiration to me -- maybe you have to wait until you're in your sixties or seventies, but you can still find true love.
