The titles of the poems in this book tell thestory of that year. I look forward to a series of poetry books by Marie thatwill continue her life story.”Lila Weisberger, MS, CASAC, Registered PoetryTherapist, Past President of The National Association for Poetry Therapy(1999-2001).  Co-editor “The HealingFountain Poetry Therapy for Life’s Journey“In my professional work withfamilies and friends of clients who suffered from Cancer, Aides, Lou Gehrig’s disease and other menacing illnesses, I believethat ‘Sunflowers Do Die’ is a source of inspiration, connection and emotionalhealing, a helping hand along the rugged and often isolating journey for thosecoping with loss.” Lorraine Kaul, MA,MPA,CPP-R"
