Marcie, Bev, Bobby and Paul,
Your mother meant so much to me and I am blessed that she touched my life. We had many laughs and she taught me a great deal about being a mother and having a sense of humor. She loved her family and talked of all of you often. Today at her service was a humbling experience for me.
I hope to see you all soon.
Love,
Marcies "barbecue friend"
