Marie, I will always love you. You, Tyler and Danielle were always a part of me, David... BJ, Kierra, and Jonathan's daily life.
If you remember, you really came to Texas, almost when we relocated.
I smile every time I think of how you would taste a dish of food and tell me every ingredient...then go home and make it for us. Knowing, I can't cook, and still can't... I would call you for Chitlins, Greens and potato salad. If I volunteered, you would say, Aunt Linda, "like...really" the only thing you know how to cook is Mac & cheese and it is not better than mine".
If you were cooking, you put us all out of the kitchen, for days... I had to pray, because we knew it would be all day and all night, next day and next night..but when you were done...it was finger-licking good.
We choose a family member to be each other's children's GOD PARENT... I am Tyler's God Mom, I got him, just like you always did with me.
Marie will be truly missed by all of us. We loved her dearly and she loved all of us. She was always the life of the party. When she came through the door, a car full of delicious food she would bring with her. If there was a sale on anything at the market, she bought enough for everybody. If she could think of anything you needed, she brought it to you. We all knew how much she loved to keep abreast of what was going on in the world. Marie got all the details and facts, so I called her "Miss 6 o'clock News". I will miss her loud laughter and fast talking. I am most thankful that she appreciated and recognized and loved God. She loved her Children, her Mom, her Sister and her entire family. It's hard for us her family to say "good bye" and give her back to God. May God continue to comfort and strengthen us as face tomorrow without Marie coming in the house to cook or bring food. Marie, we love you forever and will keep you in our hearts forever. We Thank God for Marie's life. Love to my family. Marie was my first niece. With a sad heart, but trusting in God. Bishop Mildred Louise Session Meney.
