Winter
Lake Marie survived one of the worst winters
they have seen in years!…from ice storms that
knocked out power for 4 days, to snow, snow and
more snow! But the best part of this frustrating
winter, was how friends were just a phone call
away to help friends in need! That’s what makes
Lake Marie a great place to be!!  
Thanks…FRIENDS!
