Dr Goodin and family I just found out about Mrs. Marie and I am so sorry. I really enjoyed your mom when she worked at the Clinic Drug Store. My thoughts and prayers for each of you during this time.

Dr. Goodin and family, I am so sorry for the loss of your dear Mother. Sending prayers for comfort, peace and strength both today, and in the days to come. I've always said other than the Lord, no one loves you like your Mother does. She was at Eagle Mountain the same time my mother-in-law was. A very lovely person indeed. May it help you and your family to know that others care and are thinking about you during this time of sorrow. Thank you for being a part of the team that took such good care of my mother over 15 years ago. We were both blessed with awesome mothers!

Marie was one fine lady and has been missed for quite a few years from her church gathering. She never knew when we visited her but we did it for the family. She is in a blessed home for her reward of obedience notes in her life. May good memories sustain your time of grief. In Christian love , Bill and Nana Whittington ( Marie and I shared a birthday, Nana)
