Marie and I met at St. Hugh of Lincoln School when we were in 5th grade. We quickly became best friends. Growing up together, we shared all the "firsts", books, concerts, crushes, dates, dances, boyfriends, learning to drive, and so much more. As the oldest child in each of our families, when we both obtained our Junior Driver's Licenses we helped out by driving our younger siblings to and from their activities, completing errands for the families, and we were permitted to use the cars for our own runs to the Walt Whitman Mall or Huntington Village. Of course that meant driving the huge 1970s station wagons, a challenge to young, new drivers. Marie backed down the long, curved hill of my parents' driveway knocking over the lamppost. A week or so later, I backed out of Marie's parents' driveway and took out the mailbox. Our fathers decided to call it even. Rest well my friend. May you be in peace. Love always, Elizabeth (Beth) Blower

A fond (and first) memory that I have of Marie occurred 63 years ago when her parents, JoAnn and Joe, brought her home following her birth at Booth Memorial Hospital in Flushing Queens. At that time, JoAnn and Joe lived on the second floor in my parents two-family house in Elmhurst, Queens. I was eleven years old and totally thrilled at the prospect of being an aunt. On the day they brought her home, I was outside playing with two little girls who lived on our block. When JoAnn and Joe arrived home with Marie, I told the two girls that I could not play with them for the rest of the day because I had to watch (help?) my sister feed the baby. I recall sitting on the bed next to the chair watching in awe as my first baby niece received her first bottle at home. I also remember JoAnn noting how many ounces the baby took each time she was fed. I cherish the memory of the years that Marie and her parents lived upstairs. With love and heartfelt sympathy, Marie's Aunt Susie
