Marie will be missed by everyone especially her loving Daughter Elaine, who cared for her, cooked for her and traveled with her on all these memorable trips.

We gather here today in celebration of mom's life. To be sure it was quite interesting with not a lot of strife.
We traveled the world together to Canada, Europe, Central America, Morocco, and Mexico. 21 countries in all told.
When we stepped on a train, a ship, airplane, it never did get old.
We went to movies, theatre, and ethnic festivals every chance we had. It was interesting and fun for all, and it made mom very glad.
She raised me from a "Premature Baby" to become the person I am today. She always said: "Just try your best and we'll support you in any way".
Mom lived to be 98 years old, with experiences no one else had. To know that we can't do it again makes me really sad.
We were Interpreters in station both mom, dad, and me.
We did it for Florida Hospital, Sheriffs Department, FAA, and the Vatican Embassy.
When world cup soccer came to Orlando, mom and I were there as well, to interpret and help every one in need, for everyone to tell.
In Rhode Island, mom was a girl scout leader for troop 897. We camped and hiked and cooked outdoors and it seemed like Heaven.
I have no regrets in taking care of her, being a nurse and EMT.
The doctors said I did an outstanding job and that makes my heart feel free.
So as we honor my mother today in my heart, her memory, will always stay.
