Message from Michaela (Riebel) Burg , Tochter von Tho Riebel(Bruder von Marlies)
Nun ist auch Marlis (Maria Magdalena Elisabeth genannt Marlies geboren am 27.Dezember 1928 in Erbach im Odenwald-Deutschland, gestorben am 13.Juli 2017 in Detroit-Michigan-USA)die erstgeborene von drei Geschwistern (Marlies *1928, Rosemarie *1931 und Theo *1932) von uns gegangen.
Ich bin so traurig dass nun auch Marlis von uns gegangen ist. Ich habe mir oft gewünscht ich könnte übers Wasser gehen um bei Marlis und Euch zu sein.
Es ist schwer einen geliebten Menschen gehen zu lassen.
Allein der Gedanke dass sie nun bei Ihrem geliebten Mann und Ihren Geschwistern ist macht mir Freude.
Mein Vater und sie waren Ihrer Kindheit und Jugend beinahe unzertrennlich. Wo Marlis war da war auch ihr Bruder Theo!
1956 sind meine Eltern auch wie Tante Marlis erst nach Canada. Dort heirateten meine Eltern am 06.Oktober 1956 und am 09.Oktober 1957 wurde in Toronto mein Bruder Ralph geboren.
1957 kamen meine Eltern nach Detroit-Michigan und lebten eine Zeitlang bei Marlis und John.
Als in dieser Zeit meine Schwester Angela Maria am 29.Oktober 1958 in Detroit geboren wurde hat Marlis sie über das Taufbecken gehalten.
Auch als mein Vater (ihr Bruder) 1959 wieder nach Deutschland kam blieb der Kontakt zu Marlis eng.
Einer Ihrer tollen Ideen war es Ihre Briefe auf Tonbänder zu sprechen und meinem Vater zu senden! Wir haben alle fieberhaft auf das Eintreffen der Bänder gewartet!
Zu unserer Freude kam Marlis und Familie uns oft besuchen. Wir hatten immer Spaß mit Ihr und viel zu lachen. Und man konnte mit Ihr – wie man in unserer Familie so schön sagt:“ Über Gott und die Welt reden“. Was wir in unserer Familie sehr gerne tun :-)
Ich vermisse Dich Marlis, Du wirst immer ein Teil von mir sein
In Liebe Michaela

Message from Colin Paige and Family

Our condolences go out sadly once again to the Brady Family. I will never forget how Marlis fought immigration in order for me to perform for so many years. My memories of John and Marlis will not soon fade away. I'm sure they're together sharing a a glass of wine and a laugh.

I'm so very sad that I didn't get to say goodbye to my dear friend, Marlis, whom I've been looking for this year. I spoke to her a couple of years ago but couldn't find her again. I also learned too late that her son had lived very close to me in Utica, Michigan, where I could have visited Marlis or provided her shelter at that tragic time as well. I worked at the Wayne County Jail in the 1970's and spent much of my time with Marlis at the Old Shillelagh. Marlis stayed with me in California in the 1980's during her entire vacation. I loved having her with me. Oh how I cared for her so very much, and how proud I was of her intellect and many fine talents, especially that she taught sailing classes at the Detroit Yacht Club and German classes in a Detroit High School. What a very fine and brilliant woman who overcame many difficult obstacles in her lifetime, as she brought great, unselfish love and joy to so many of us. Farewell, Marlis, my treasured friend. As you always used to say to me, "Safe home." Lovingly, Judith

Message from Dan, Gabriel & Sarah Flannery

Dear Brady Family,
Hearth felt condolences on the massing of Marlis. When we would visit Michigan, we made it a point to always stop and see John and Marlis. When they sail to Annapolis, they looked up. Wonderful memories that will always be cherished.

There are so many wonderful memories we have of times spent with your mom and dad. From the Shillelagh to the Dakota Inn events to the visits to their various homes throughout the years. We always had so much fun with them and will miss them both very much. In Marlis, I will especially miss my German speaking partner. She was always so much fun to be around. Please extend my sincere condolence to the entire Brady clan. May you all have fond and happy thoughts of her in the days to come. Sincerely, Frank(in spirit), Linda, Kerry, and John Steele
