The following poem found in Marcelle's belongings after her death (together with Bert's funeral bulletin):
To My Husband
I walk alone
& think of days gone by
When we were young.
A hand to hold
A shoulder strong to lean on
And dreams to dream.
Now he is gone
And I am all alone
I miss him so.
_________Mar.
