In lieu of flowers, Marie requested that donations be made in her memory to Elevate Scholarship Camp, 3300 Bridger Drive, Redding, CA  96002, or online at elevatecamps.org. 

And one last thing, Moma loved dessert almost more than anything, and we would like to encourage you to go with a friend or family member, eat dessert (either at home or out) and think of Marie.
