From the family-

Some measure a person’s life by the amount of money they have, the house they lived in, or by the possessions they accumulated, but the real measurement is how they were truly loved and cared for by family and friends.  It wasn’t just her children who called her “Mom” or the grandchildren and great-grandchildren who called her “Grandma”, but so many friends who also affectionately called her “Mom” or “Grandma”, because that was just who she was.  A close knit family, all share a heavy heart with her passing, but also some smiles as the memories filter through. Marliss, Mom, Grandma, you will be missed by so many because family and friends were always at the top of your list.  You were always there and you always cared for “family”.  Peace, tonight and every night forward…
