    So sorry to hear about the loss of Marian. She was such a sweet lady that I enjoyed getting to know while waiting on her at the bank. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family.

    To the family of Mrs. Coapstick,
    I remember having your Mother as a sub back at Jackson Township El. School. It could be a bit scary when you would have a sub….wondering if they were “nice” or…”mean”. Your Mom had such a kind and gentle spirit to each and every student. I always enjoyed when she would be our sub in the classroom. I was blessed that our paths crossed for that brief time in my childhood. I have always remembered your Mother fondly. She was a true lady. Thinking and praying for your family.

    I never met Marian, but corresponded with her over a number of years – she was a thoughtful, generous woman who supported our Library’s growth and program development. I received a note from her last month expressing her condolences at my husband’s passing, and her kind words comforted me. Know that your family is in my prayers as you come to accept her passing.

    Kelly & Dan
    So sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing. I enjoyed talking with her at CP a couple of times. We caught each other up on our families and how time had passed so quickly. I know how difficult it is to lose a parent, especially when both have passed on. Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless.
