Grace, Joe and family, I will never forget your mother and the way she looked after my Mom at Shawnee Gardens–she really was the angel we needed at that point. I know she was involved in her faith and so I know she is in a better place. I hope you all can remember that and always enjoy the great memories of your Mom.
Please accept my sincerest condolences. Marie touched my life, as well as my families’ over the 14 years I have known her. Her kind and gentle spirit and love for her family was evident in all that she did.
My family and I met Marie in the late 70s at Holy Trinity Parish and through the years became friends with her and her family and shared many good times. She will truly be missed.
My deepest sympathy to the Budenbender family. A mother’s legacy is her children and she raised an incredible family. May the fond memories of her bring you peace at this time. I will keep you in my prayers, Barb
