So much has happened an how I wish I could talk to you about it - but then again I could talk to you now an somehow you would let me know what could/should be done    I don't have to tell u how much your missed  Shine down on us

Another year and no it never gets easier. The hole just gets deeper. It is good I can't remember to count the number of times I wish you were here to laugh with, commiserate with, remember so many fun times together and just hang. I am sure all families have loss; however, I feel like we have had our share and then some, especially when so young. I hate thinking when will the next shoe drop. So, I am trying to be positive and find good things to reminisce about. Took the scrap book of Mother's 80th birthday party to her yesterday and she didn't remember a lot so we went over photo by photo and she seemed pleased. She did not remember Betty or her being around the family so much - hope you, Betty and Abigail are rejoicing, singing, and laughing all over heaven!
Love, Sheila

We lose a member of our ACB Family
The ACB Family and our community has lost a dear member. Marianne Bosley passed away on June 2. Marianne worked with ACB since November 2004 and helped many of our clients with their projects. She was a considerate, kind and consummate professional. She will be missed by many.
And so we shed a tear for Marianne, a beautiful soul, our dear colleague. Yes, indeed it is a painful loss that words cannot express, shocking quite honestly and very difficult to take. Still, a very heart-wrenching news when someone so close to our life expires. She was a classy lady who was there for ACB and for all of us through thick and thin. Our life on earth is a very fleeting one, and hers was gracious to the end, may her soul rest in perfect peace now and for evermore.
The ACB Family

It has been a while since I have written on this and so much has happened. I still think about you often. You were always sense of reason when I needed someone to just talk to. I know that you and Abigail are together and watching over all of us. We need that! I miss you. 

Marianne....you came to me in my dreams last night - it was kinda weird dream -
However here we are the day of your birthday an I think  Wow, maybe there was meaning to it, not sure since the dream was so weird however whatever it meant, I'm glad to have spent that moment with you
I'm sure I don't have to tell you to enjoy your celebration in heaven - lot of really good people up there   Give them hugs from me!!❤️

Miss you so much every day and especially the last several months. Pray you and Abigail are enjoying Heaven together. Miss her, however, glad her last two months were at my house as we had some great times together. looking at photos recently and enjoying seeing some of our great times together as a family and some of our trips, etc. Glad to be able to do this; however, sometimes hard to move forward after this reflection period.

Love, Sheila

Found a bunch of letters you wrote to me while you were away in the war. With the letters was the tape we sent back and forth to each other like recorded letters. Heard your voice and got really emotional. Now I’m thinking of you a lot as Veteran’s Day approaches and looking at the picture you sent me of you in Iraq and the picture taken of you and I the day you returned from the war. I was so very excited that day. I will always cherish the friendship you and I had - the fun times, the funny times and laughter, and the sharing of our deepest feelings as we saw each other through some tough and heart-wrenching times. You were a friend like no other and I always missed you when we weren’t together and I miss you now. We all take for granted our connections and/or our ability for reconnections, thinking we have all the time in the world. You will always hold a special place in my heart because you were more than a friend, we were sisters❣️

Miss you more today than June 2014. Did learn one thing this year that helps me when I miss you so much - 6th stage of grief - acknowledge the joy and value of the time we had together. We did have great times to remember and lots of joy throughout our time together - that is comforting when I stop to remember. We were there for each other through the years and I think that is why I miss you so much. Please continue to watch over your girls and our family - lots of changes this year that we need to adjust to and we can use your guidance from heaven. Love, Sheila

Hey Marianne -
Well another year has come an not only are you not here but my dad isn't either ...he left 13 years ago today as well   And although I miss you both very much there was some happiness & joy today
My nephew AJ & his wife, Jenn had a baby today   A boy, named AJ3    
I'd like to believe you & my dad are smiling down an saying  It's ok to be happy !

Another birthday not here - things are so different now - wish I could talk to you about them   I'm sure it's beautiful in heaven and there is one big celebration going on
Sending up hugs & balloons on this day

Still miss you Marianne and will always miss you.

Doug Noble ACB

This day is still hard to get through. It always will be.  I will never forget the call that day. 
There are so many times I want to pick up the phone and just chat. I do talk to you and try to think of what you would say.  Always a calming voice.  Miss you my friend

Miss you so much. Another rough year and day that would have been eased by your presence and guidance. I still think that I need to call you about something and of course that doesn't work anymore. All I can ask is that you watch over your family and bless us as we try to continue without you.

Marianne,
Miss you so much that I truly could not post until now and even now my thoughts are so sad and the empty feeling just will not quit. I want to speak with you to "run things by you" for counsel and guidance. Some days I feel so lost and worried and know you would be able to talk me back on track. No matter what, I am still grateful you were my Sister and we shared time together that I will always treasure. Love you and think of you every day. Love, Sheila

Happy belated birthday in heaven my friend. I have so many good memories of you, especially when we were single mothers together, when our children were with us and when they weren’t - we talked about finding love again, went to stores and tried on fancy dresses we would never really have a reason to buy, went to the track while our girls skated and rode bikes, so many things. We met our husbands around the same time, got married around the same time and we both had a new daughter with our new husbands around the same time. When I look back, you were the best friend I ever had. Can’t wait to see you again in heaven!

Happy Heavenly Birthday today! We all miss you so much.

Happiest of birthday wishes in the sky......Oh how I know there is a celebration going on in heaven that here on earth we cant even fathom how spectacular it is!!!!!  HOWEVER you are missed her on earth too....there's always something to remember you by that makes us smile or cry
I'm not the only one who wishes we could here your voice, call an complain ( my case rant) or just laugh with
BUT till we all meet in heaven we will all celebrate the best we can here on earth!!!!  
 

Solemn day that I tried to brighten by looking at photos and thinking of fun times such as Solomon's Island at the Navy rec center - crabbing, games, music, family stories, etc.; vacations together to new places; loving your daughters as I watched you raise them; and listening to antics of you and Wade growing up together. I miss you so much and it still hurts. Please know I am trying to be a good aunt and I pray you approve of my attempts. Till we meet again, Love, Sheila

So here we are another year without you - I can never forget this day because not only are you not here but my father left the year before u on this very day.....I still have your voice on my answering machine along with my moms  And whenever I am sad I play it back and smile
Till we meet again continue to watch over your love ones  ❤️

Ive tried to think of something poignant to say about your birthday - but I'm not that good with words
And although there are many here on earth missing you - celebrating in heaven must be a party beyond our wildest dreams
Till we meet again ❤️

Marianne,
Missed you so much today as we celebrated your life at lunch. Told some fun stories; however, bitter sweet seemed to reign today. Guess I am just in a funky mood based on family and wanting you here so bad for your counsel and mediation guidance. Do remember your 50th birthday party and all the laughs we shared that day. Pray you are enjoying your day in heaven. Love, Sheila

Marianne - Your sister is so right. Time does not heal. It sometimes makes it harder. I still want to pick up the phone for a 2 hours session on everything imaginable. From kids to husbands to mothers, brothers, there wasn't anything we couldn't talk about. Well except sisters - you have a wonderful sister. I had ---- brothers ----. But I was lucky enough that those brothers brought sisters into my life.
60 has come and gone - that would have been a 3 hour session beginning with your reminder of the 67 days that made me so much older :-)
I know you are looking down on us. I can feel it some days and it feels good.
Happy Birthday - a bit late - Miss you!

I'm a few days late Marianne, but u have been on my mind for the last week. I fondly remember the times we celebrated our shared birthday together and the adventures we shared on the job. I miss your sweet spirit and that smile of yours that would light up your whole face, but I know that you are well and resting in paradise with Our Heavenly Father. Till we meet again my friend...

Marianne,
we had a nice birthday dinner yesterday for your 60th - missed you terribly. Of course, miss you every day and especially this year due to Mother's stroke and the aftereffects - I know your guidance and counsel would be so helpful. I pray you are OK with how we are helping her - I know you are proud of your daughters and their support and love for her. Please watch over all of us and especially Mother. Love, Sheila

Marianne, I am a day late posting - not because I didn't know that yesterday was the 3rd anniversary of losing my only sister and good friend - because I couldn't face the reality and seeing the photos, etc. It is still raw and painful - so many days I think about special times and wish we could reminisce about them. Told someone just recently about out trip to MA and VT and the GPS that took us to the top of the hill in someone's yard! Abigail eating spicy tomato soup and actually liking it. You would be proud of both your daughters and how well they have done with life and adversity. I miss you and your low key guidance and support and your laughter at the crazy times in the family! Love, Sheila

Hey Marianne...happy belated birthday wish....I didn't forget you yesterday... matter of fact Bryan & I were talking about you all day... 
I cant imagine celebrating your day in heaven..it must be beautiful however down here on earth people are missing you like crazy
Im not going to leave anything sad today - that's not what this is about - I just wanted to say Happy Birthday in the Sky...

Well Dear Sister, sure did need your guidance and counsel this year! Still could use a few nudges or pushes in the right direction to be sure I do the best for all. Miss you so much. Think of you every day and simply want to call - so instead, I look at this page and the photos, and cry. Then I see a special photo and a pleasant memory and begin to think of what a wonderful sister you were and I can trudge on. I still remember how happy I was the day you were born and how long I dreamt of a baby sister! Love forever, Sheila

Marianne,
This is a little late but I wanted to give you the next birthday warning. Last week I would have told you the age spots continue, the skin starts to crinkle (I'd tell you not to believe all the ads - crinkling is crinkling!). I'd give you fair warning what to expect in October. WOW I sure miss those calls. I talk to the picture on the bookmark almost everyday. The absolute worse part of growing older is losing the people that mean so much to you. The aches and pain are tolerable, but the heart ache is real and never fades away. I miss you! Say hello to all the other angels there with you that I miss so much. My Dad, My grandmom, Aunt Gert, Uncle Ray, Uncle Lee, My friend Kathy, Pat, Henry and so many others. Give them my love.

Another year has gone by. I flinched today about 10:25. Two years ago Scott called me at that time to say you were gone. It is as unbelievable now as it was then. So much to say to you. I hope you hear me when I ask for your advice. Sometimes I can see your face or see you shaking your head. Sometimes somehing will pop into my head after thinking to myself - What would Marianne say? I know you are flying with the angels, chatting with Bette and hopefully filling my dad in on all the goofy things his sons has done! He is just like his Dad in so many ways.
Know that you ar very muched loved and missed and please keep watching over all of us.

Momma, it's been 2 years since you left this world and went to Heaven. A lot has happened in those 2 years and I wish you were here so I could call you up and talk to you about it. I miss you so much momma! Until we meet again! I love you to Heaven and back!

Marianne it's been two long years since you were called home . I know that Betty and you are having a good old time in heaven. I hope you have run into my dad. Missing you . Wish we could have gone on our adventure we had looked forward to when I retired.
Love your husband,Scott.

Hey Marianne....
well another year has gone by ... its a double whammy for me - not just you but my father was on this day too....whoever sad it gets easier - LIES - the pain is as strong today as 2 yrs ( for you) 3 yrs (my dad)
would LOVE to chat with you right about now!
shine down through the clouds today and let everyone whose hurting feel you please

I miss you every day as there is always something I need your advice on. I miss your laugh and mischievous smile at family gatherings. I feel blessed though that I have such great memories of a wonderful sister and great times at Solomon's, crab feasts, holidays and just back yard picnics. I hope you and Bette are having a blast together!

It's been a little while. I doesn't get any easier. It really is true that you don't appreciate someone until they are gone. I've been frustrated and needed a calming voice, annoyed and needed a buddy. I know you are in a much happier place, but I miss you down here. Think of you a lot and miss you. You were my classmate, sister-in-law and friend!
  Be happy my friend!

Marianne, It's been another year. Normally we would chat about age spots, hair color changes, extra pounds that just stay around. I sure do miss those calls. I miss you! But you my friend are in a better place , you are more beautiful than ever and singing with the angels. The age spots are gone, the hair is a beautiful shade of strawberry and the pounds (if you had any) are gone forever. But I miss you. Your laugh, your advice, your bad jokes about the 2 months and 8 days that made me older than you. But I miss you. I was lucky to know you in high school and even luckier when you became part of the family. Enjoy your birthday in heaven my friend. I miss you.

Happy Birthday in Heaven dear friend. Although I'll be celebrating our special day here on earth, I know that you are singing with the angels in your forever home. I miss you and cherish the memories of our friendship and the many birthdays we celebrated together. Take your rest now until we meet again.

Marianne,
I miss you every day. Some days are harder than others. The tears still come out of the blue. They lie - it doesn't get easier. After a year plus, the only saving grace is that I know you are in a good place and not suffering. I am beginning to remember more good times and more laughs. I know I was blessed to have you as my Sister for 56 years. I celebrate your birthday today and remember how excited I was in 1957 to finally get a "little sister." You were all I dreamed for!
Love, Sheila

Happy Birthday in the sky Marianne......I'm sure missing you down here!!!

Marianne - I think of you often. I miss our marathon calls. Your sister had these wonderful bookmarks made with your picture and it hangs in my office. I often talk to you through that bookmark. About the stuff we used to talk about - your grumpy husband, your two girls and getting older. Although you always pointed out that I was in fact 2 months and 8 days older than you. I know you are in a better place, free of pain and with those who have gone before you. Just want you to know that I miss you and your always rational thinking, the laugh that was sometimes hard to get out of you and your love for my brother and the girls. We lost an awesome person last year.

Hey lady, hard to believe it's been a year. We miss you very much at ACB. I frequently wonder "How did Marianne do this?" Your impact on our little company will be felt for years.
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.
Susan

Marianne my dearest love and wife, It has been a year since you left this life to a new glorious one in Heaven. I miss you so much it hurts sometimes. Hope that you met my dad I know he would have loved you too. Take care baby. Love Your Husband,Scott

Hey Marianne....well its been a year and I realized that you & my dad share this day...he also decided it was time to go meet our heavenly father......my dad passed in 2013, my mom passed 6 months later in January 2014 then YOU.....needless to say it has been a heavy burden on my heart....I SO miss you...things are not the same .....someone down here is waiting on a SMILE from you...please send her one....she needs it!

Happy Birthday Marianne,

We are still missing you and always will.

Doug Noble ACB

Happy Birthday Marianne! As I remember the ones we celebrated together, I know you'll be celebrating this one with a host of angels in heaven.

Happy Birthday Marianne!!!

Without the birth of Marianne I would not of had the opportunity to have known her. I am without a doubt happy to have met her. She brought light and laughter every time I spoke with her.

Marianne will continue to lighten my life with just her memories! May god bless her soul as she blessed us with her kindness.

Fond memories, Theresa

I also worked with Marianne at the FCC in Columbia. We shared the same birthday and a wonderful friendship. Although we lost touch over the years, we reconnected on FB a few years ago. I was not aware that she was ill, and was visiting her FB page tonight in an effort to get together and was both shocked and saddened to read a tribute from her niece. My deepest sympathy to Scott, Courtney & Abigail - I am so sorry for your loss. Marianne was a kind & generous friend who loved her Lord and Savior with every fiber of her being. She surely deserves the rest she now enjoys in arms of The Father. I will miss her

I worked with Marianne at the FCC Laboratory for a number of years. She was a sweet person and loved by her co-workers. She will be missed.

Hugh Van Tuyl

Marianne was one of the best people I have ever worked with. We could unload our complaints on each other and we always seemed to see eye to eye. She will be missed for sure by me. I know her family knows what a special person she is and I just want to say that I believe she is now reaping the fruits of being that very special person. Bless her heart and her family.

Mariannne, I truly miss you, we Talked "EVERYDAY" during the week and I honestly looked forward to that on my drives to work. We would laugh and make jokes about Mr. Koster that was so funny my ribs were hurt from laughing so hard. We have never met in person but your personality is so GREAT and WARMING that it just felt like we have. I pray that your family finds Peace.

Until we meet again,

Kimbery Colbert

Although I had never met Marianne in person I felt as if I had known her for a very long time. She would call and we would chit chat just like we knew each for decades. That was Marianne.She was type of person whom made you feel very welcome, loved, and human. She will be missed.
Marianne I love you.

Theresa
