For 30 years in a row, they went to Hawaii and met with their Mahina Surf friends with whom she formed lasting friendships.
Marion and Wes had a love that is an inspiration and a legacy. Their love resembled those in the movies they loved so much. She was and is the meaning of love.
She did not want a funeral or viewing; she did not want sadness upon her passing. She wanted a celebration of life. Her wishes are honored.
