Treasure the memories and take care.

Toynette Rolston says
I have so many memories of Marian from elementary and high school in Colstrip and all the times after that I would look up and see Marian, but mostly Marian and Mike together, and take the time to stop and chat about life in general. I got to see them at airport in Billings on their way to Branson for their anniversary. We were in huge crowd at a concert and there were three people from CHS destined to meet for a talk. The last time I saw her was at class reunion in Colstrip and quick conversation on the float. I learned several months ago she had A.L.S. and my heart was sad. I think I am tough, but I am not tough enough for A.L.S. Mike and family I am sorry she is gone and glad she does not have to suffer A.L.S. anymore.
Darlene Hamilton says

Condolences to Michael and family. Marian was a very good woman, kind and gentle person. She and Michael were so good to my parents and family when I was growing up. I have many fond memories growing up and spending time at their home. They really helped my parents out a lot, and it made a difference in our (the children’s) lives. I’ll always remember Marian’s kind voice and smile. It was always good to see Michael and Marian together in town or at the pow-wow and visit with them. Thank you to Marian, Michael and family for great memories that I will always cherish and the generosity you showed us, it will always be in my heart and I will always share that with others. Nea’ese.
