So sorry, wished I lived closer. Love you all.
Prayers going out to all the family members
So Sorry to hear of Mrs. Laurie’s passing. Our families lived down the block from each other. She was a fine hard working German woman who always wanted the best for her family. She and Mr. Laurie had a passion for animals of all kinds…I always admired the HUGE fish tank in their basement and loved playing with their beautiful Samoyed Dog…still wish I was able to get one of the pups! I have a lot of happy memories of us kids growing up together on Forest Avenue. Our sincere condolences on the loss of your Mother, Grandmother and Great Grandmother.
My deepest sympathy on the loss of your mother. I’m sure she’s in a much better place right now you were a wonderful daughter and Caretaker to her you should be very proud of yourself. God bless you and your family. Kindest regards Deborah Joyce
I am the daughter of Ernst Blum, a cousin of your mother. My grandfather was Julius Blum, a brother of your grandfather. I live in Germany and had for about 3 years contact with your aunt Rosemarie. Her daughter Cathy informed me, that your mother passed away. Rosemarie has been told about her. I never met you or your mother but I feel a familiar attachment and think of you and your family. Sigrid
To: Lindy,Bonnie & David and all of Marian’s grandkids and great grandchildren—I offer you my deepest sympathy. Marian was such a good friend to me. I looked forward to going to Wilmington to visit her. I knew her wwhen she lived in Brookfield, too. be We were both bus drivers. She was always so independent until her health started failing. She never wanted to be a burden to anyone. I admire you, Lindy, for bringing her into your home. I wish all of you the best!!!
David and Marian were dear friends that I had the pleasure of sharing many memorable moments over the years. They will be missed and remembered in my prayers. Bless the family that did a great job as caretakers in recent years. BOB
Marian was a very special lady. I loved hearing her stories of her kids and places she has been too. She had an heart of gold I met her when I became a bus driver. I enjoyed our Wednesday meeting at Burger King with other fellow drivers she will be greatly missed.
