"Marie was a wonderful aunt. My brother and I loved to stay with her and Uncle L. B. She was a great cook. We especially enjoyed her spaghetti! We also had a lot of fun on the many road trips that she took us on late at night. We love her and may God Bless her and her family. Sincerely, Frankie Koontz."
