To Hank & Family Marie will be sadly missed,She was a very sweet lady and a Very Good Neighbor,My Heart gose out to the Family,May God Bless all of you
Hank and family, may God bless you and give you peace. I remember fondly, the Thanksgiving dinner we shared in 2003 and Marie’s joy at spending the holiday with her son and daughter-in-law.
I was glad to have the opportunity to meet Marie while she and Hank were visiting their son in Florida. We had a good time kidding about politics and her son, my good friend Keith. Two subjects you simply have to laugh about. On a number of occasions she’d use her cane to let me know I was out of line. We laughed a lot. I will remember her fondly.
Our family and I would like to thank you for posting your thoughts to the Greco-Hertnick website to honor the memory of Marie and her life, for by doing so, you uplift our spirits in our time of loss. By adding your words, you’ve come to return some of the love you’ve received from Hank and Marie over the years, so thank you for expressing your love in this way. It is greatly appreciated. MOM, thank you for your life song of blessings from the kitchen. Your acts of kindness were not silent among us. And although you were not famous throughout the entire world, you meant the world to your family. Thank you for giving us life and teaching us how to give to others. Thanks for all the love that came by way of cookies, cakes, and nut rolls. Thank you for showing us right from wrong and reminding us when we forgot. I’m sorry I wasn’t there when you left, but there was no better place for you to depart for heaven than from Dad’s arms. We will all miss you this May 14, but I guess the Lord wanted you to spend Mother’s Day with Him this year. Although you struggled the last few years, He gave you a great life, and now you can see and move freely. So watch for us…we’re coming His way! Love, Hank, Keith, Cheryl, Connie, Bruce, Aaron, Jason, Acacia, Lisa, Gina, Van
Dear All- We are so sorry for your loss. Our prayers and thought are with you. Love Steve and JoAnn Carroll

To all of you wonderful Vierbickys: May the good Lord bring to mind for all of you the “good times” and “good things” that Marie contributed to your wonderful Vierbicky family. Only God knows which of her “talents” will be tapped in heaven. I’m sure that you will all be together again. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. I am just so happy that I had the pleasure to be included in the “family” when Marie and all in your family have visited in Sarasota. My prayers are for safe travel for all of you who will visit Weirton this week from afar! I love you, Margie(Coach)Robertson
To the Kosar & Vierbicky families: My thoughts and prayers are with you. I have good memories of Marie when she worked with Dr. Kosar. She was such a comfort and help when I was pregnant with both of my children some 35 years ago. I saw her throughout the years and she never seemed to change. I got to know her daughter Cheryl and granddaughter, Lisa through Weirton Hts Elem School. You are all special people and I know her loss is a great one.
Our prayers are with you. We are keeping you in our prayers and thoughts.
