“Dear Family of Marie Powers, It’s hard to say goodbye to such a lovely, vibrant lady. I know she is in Heaven now, having the time of her life! Marie was a customer of the Bedford Social Club restaurant for many years, and she left us all with a lasting impression. I used to serve Marie and her friends at cocktail hour and we all had such fun! So many memories! Til we meet again! Lori Moss”
