Because I hadn't heard from Aunt Marie in some time after sending greeting notes, birthday card and Christmas letter, I was suspicious so I Googled Aunt Marie's name and, of course, found the sad news. I am Margaret and Rodger Beattie's daughter. My mother was Uncle Hank's sister. We lived in Watertown, New York and I have been living in Staten Island since my marriage in 1985. Aunt Marie and Uncle Hank provide beautiful memories for my brother, Bruce, and me. We loved them both dearly. They were a big part of our growing up years. We send our sympathies to all others who knew and loved Aunt Marie. My address is 240 Guyon Avenue, Staten Island, New York 10306. One of my fondest memories of Aunt Marie is our shopping trips to Barney's years and years ago. I always laughed at how disorganized she kept her money in her purse..just a wad of bills. I loved her dearly; I wish we could go back and repeat the last 50 years or so! Evelyn (Evie) Beattie Kormanik
