Offer Condolence for the family of Marie Meier, nee Paloucek
My heart goes out to you and your family at this difficult time.
Cindy, Tom and family,
Our deepest sympathy at Marie’s passing. She lived a long and fulfilling life and will be missed by all. You can be comforted by the knowledge that she has gone on to a better place.
John and Mary Taylor and family
Our hearts are breaking because we lost Auntie Mae, but joyous that she now is reunited with Uncle Hank and George and Sylvia probably being bathing beauties at Grandpa’s cottage. We loved her so much, and we will never be the same without her. God bless her and welcome her now and forever. With all our love Bob and Donna
So sorry for your loss. When I think of your Mom…I remember her always smiling…..and being happy… What a sweet woman she was…and a good friend to my Aunt Jenny..and our family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Dearest Cindy, as your dear mother is welcomed into Heaven, we are certain that while she is now with God, God is also with you. Therefore, the chain of love remains unbroken. May the Lord of Hosts stand His ministering angels in a close hedge of support and comfort around you and your family and friends. Love, Carole
#1 Mother. I know. You taught us life; you taught us Love. You did well. And all we can do is give you thanks. Super Mom – Marie P. Meier. I await our reunion in that room prepared for us. You live on in our heart, but you will be missed. Good Bye Mom, but not forever.
We were so sorry to hear of your Moms passing. I remember her fondly..She would be pleased to know a very nice young family lives in her old house. Please accept our sympathy.
Forever my second mom. Will miss her so much. Her smile could melt any heart. Henry, Patti, and Cindy, you had the best. Can’t wait to see her again when the Lord returns.
To the Meier family, I’m very sorry for your loss. I wanted to offer you some comfort that I’ve found in the Bible. In John 11:25 Jesus said “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life.” It’s my hope that you can draw comfort and strength from this promise that we can see the loved ones we have lost to death again. (Acts 24:15)
