I met Marie in 1969 when our daughters became best friends. Kelly was 7 and my daughter Jamie was 6. Marie and I bonded instantly. She was so beautiful, funny, and sweet. My husband was in the Air Force so I was living in a mobile home park across the road from the Forsters. Marie's friendship was a blessing to me. I will always be thankful our paths crossed. She was an amazing lady. I know she and Kelly are together again.
Love you Aunt ReRe. You’ll be missed, but not forgotten.
