Obituary to my Step-Sister, Marian Stipe

I don’t know if many people will remember my Step-Sister, Marian Stipe, who used to live in these parts. But, in case they do, I wanted to let you all know that she has passed away after a long and wonderful life. As I approach the magic age of 75, myself, I hope to have a many friends and love ones as she did. In any event, here is a copy of her obituary for those who remember her. Thank Loren Williams, Step-Brother, Miami, Fl
