A sad ending but Marion went on to get married again and live a full life and rule over us in the school cafeteria. We were so lucky to have her example revealed to us through these accounts. What impresses me most about them is the willingness of neighbors to pitch in and help each other through all of the aforementioned adventures and crises. People seemed to be less selfish then and more inclined to sacrifice their own immediate wants to keep their town going. Tremendous community spirit.

Sorry to see her story come to an end. Many of the questions I had were answered in this last segment. It looks like Marion had a close relationship with the Davis family and Lawrence as well.

Marion was an amazing woman. She made the right decision, dying at home would have been Frank's choice. I worked with cancer patients for 4 years in Boston, not easy.
