A Smile and Presence Like No Other, As I am sure most were, I was Shocked To Hear and Heartbroken To Know Of The Passing Of Marni! God only made one!
May Gods Comfort and Presence Be Known By Her Son and Family.
My heart is broken.
I knew Marni when my family lived in LaFollette. We were in a circle of best friends for four years. But my family moved away.
We recently reconnected through Facebook and I was looking forward to seeing her when I came back to LaFollette this year.
She was always bubbly, had an amazing laugh..the sun always seemed to shine through her. She was so much fun to be around.
Now I’m saying goodbye to her all over again.
Rest in peace, precious friend.
