You have my deepest sympathy. It is never easy to lose someone especially this time of year; but, every Christmas you will remember her in your hearts.
I am not sure you remember me but I was very good friends with Sandy (Herendeen) Colavecchi. I did call her to let her know as she would have no way of knowing about Marie.

My deepest sympathy to the family of Marie Campbell.
Yesterday, when I saw her picture in the paper, she looked so much like my Grandmother Louella (Herendeen) Keller-Bond. After checking a picture my Mother had of all 12 children, pictured with parents Milt and Minnie Herendeen, there was a sister named Marie.
I apologize if I do not have the correct family.

You have my deepest sympathy on the loss of your mother. I’ve often tried to find out where aunt Marie lived and where all of you were. I wish I could be there but unfortunately am unable to attend but my thoughts and prayers are with you all.
If one of you would send me your address I would like to send you some pictures I have. You can send me an email at sandykc@mailstation.com.
With Sympathy, John & Sandy (Herendeen) Colavecchi
