Dear Bill and Family, You are in my thoughts at this difficult time. My sisters and I all knew of "Sweet Marie" before we ever had the chance to meet her, from stories that our mother would tell us about growing up in Perth. And while I distinctly recall that remarkable (and lucky!) day when my mother and Marie reconnected completely by chance, Marie's warmth made it seem like I'd known her forever, too. I have many fond memories that include laughing with Marie and I know that her sense of humour, her generous spirit and her joie de vivre will be sadly missed by many, including me. With love, Chris
