Marie left in her possession the following poem for her children: A Mother's Farewell To Her Children, When I must leave you for a little while, Please do not grieve and shed wild tears, And hug your sorrow to you through the years, But start out bravely with a galiant smile; And for my sake and in my name, Live on and do all things the same. Feed not your loneliness on empty days, But fill each waking hour in useful ways, Reach out your hand in comfort and in cheer, And I in turn will comfort you and hold you near; And never, never be afraid to die, For I am waiting in the sky! Visitation will be from 6-8 pm Saturday at the Wallace Funeral Home, Barboursville. Funeral services will be conducted at 2:00 pm Sunday, February 10, 2013 at the Wallace Funeral Home & Chapel by the Rev. Ron Burnsworth. Burial will be in Ridgelawn Memorial Park, Huntington.
