I have fond childhood memories growing up and the many visits with “Ernie and Marie” / “Janet and Emily” over the years. Such kind and interesting people and I am so thankful to have had this family as role models and friends over the majority of my life. As we have continued our gathering tradition into the adulthood of “the kids”, I have had the great opportunity to bring my own children along as well as being able to know Janet/Chandler’s children. It’s a very special thing to be able to have a friendship that has such longevity that it crosses generational boundaries. Marie will be greatly missed and my thoughts and condolences go out to the family.
