I will always remember you as my grandma's greatest friend. As a child I remember you being so full of infectious spunk and energy! You will not be forgotten! #8 from: Randi Campos Richwood, Oh Tue, Nov 22, 2011 at 8:32 AM I met Marie about 4 1/2 years ago at the Civic Center playing Bingo with my Grandma and I instantly had a connection with her.  She would always call me kid or brat.  I thought of Marie as my own grandma and she was a very dear lady to my heart and I will miss her very much.  I will sure miss her on Wednesday when I sit and play Bingo with my Grandma and she is not across the table for me to pick on.  I love ya Marie and the table of girls will sure miss you and your spunk.
