Condolence From: Patricia DiLonardo
Condolence: My dearest Forever Friend Marie. We have been friends for over 60 years. We have gone thru happy times and sad times together. Your beautiful cards with just the right scripture reading always lifted me up and helped me along the way just when I needed it. Our phone calls, with all the joys and laughs of time present and past were a gift for me not to mention the trips we took together with Joan and the fun we had. How can I say goodbye to you? What will I do without you? I will treasure my last visit and how you smiled as we talked. I know you are in the arms of God surrounded by all the angels. Pray for me as I will always carry you in my heart, YOUR FOREVER FRIEND

Condolence: Today I have to say goodbye to my fellow soprano Marie Shepitka. We sang in the church choir together for many years. And I have to say what a wonderful and beautiful soul she was. There was a time when I struggled with anxiety/panic attacks whenever I had to sing a solo and Marie was a huge support to me. She would send me letters and cards of encouragement at a time where I really needed kindness and understanding. I will never forget you Marie and how you were such a blessing. I hope I can be that for someone else someday. See you in heaven where I’m sure we will sing first soprano forever. I love you and thank you. ❤️❤️

Condolence: Today I'm heartbroken. My dear sister, friend, and most faithful choir member Marie has gone from us!!! Quiet as she was she was a pillar of strength, a beacon to the younger members of "how it's done"! She was faithful and dedicated, not to me (though I was the one who reaped the benefits), but to the Lord! Her commitment was serious and she only ever stopped because she couldn't see to drive anymore. She was my oldest choir member and clearly the most faithful!! We laughed once when I pointed out to her at 83 that she was the oldest and Nicole was the youngest (10) at that time! She was also a truly gifted writer! Such a wonderful example to all of us that ministry isn't for only the young! Her ministry was "Encourager" I have & will hold onto all the cards and letters she wrote to encourage me when I needed it most. She did this for so many!!!

She is gone away from us but there is a huge party in heaven tonight! I can only imagine her welcome home!! We will see her again and we will sing together again someday!!
Bye for now my Marie!! You are so loved!!!

My sincere condolences to Patti and all the family!!!
❤️❤️❤️
