Condolences
The family of Marion Ann Pischke has received the following condolences.
Marion sat at the dinner table with my mother at Madonna Towers. Over the last six months I came to love Marion. It was easy to see the deep inner sweetness that time and illness couldn't touch. I will miss seeing her at Madonna Towers.

Thinking of you and your family at this time of mourning. We are sending thoughts and prayers to you.
Don and family,
Don, I'm not sure if you remember me. I met you a few times. I spent different times talking to Marion at IBM, and I remember her as a wonderful person. We just kind of enjoyed talking together, and I want to express my sincere sympathy for your loss. I know she loved her family. She was a gentle, caring person, and it was a privilege to know her.
Again, I am sorry for your loss.
Sincerely,
Bill Kleis
My thoughts are with you at this time of loss. Although years and miles have separated our families, the memories of younger years will continue to have a place in my heart.
I wanted to send my condolences for your loss.
I feel such a loss at times like this, that I didn't keep in touch better. We had exchanged Christmas greetings for many years and I always enjoyed the letters that were included.
Once again I'm sorry for your loss.
