Marie’s sister “Marie was a woman completely devoted to her family. She was a strong woman who overcame every obstacle in her life. She is with her maker, Jesus Christ, who said when He met her “Well done, good and faithful servant.” She ran the race to win and she won. She never gave up but just kept on pushing ahead to the finish line. While we are sad that she is no longer with us, the memory of who she was will always be with us in spirit.” Frances Callery - Marie’s sister “Marie put up with all my faults. She kept me alive. She was a good cook. She was the boss, she was the leader. She came up with all the places we went and the things we did. She steered me in the right direction.” Albert Grochowski - Marie’s sweetheart, later in life “Marie was courageous and inspirational.” Diane Stover, M.D. - Marie’s doctor “We loved each other, and cared for each other, completely.” Peter, Michael & Mike’s wife, Terri - Marie’s children
