Dear Jim,

Oh, how I miss Marion. Alta Mesa Country Club will never be the same without her around during season. Her zest and her stories, her beautiful eyes. She was such a strong woman in that petite frame of hers, yet you saw her softness in her eyes when she spoke. Although we're not related, I feel like I lost a close relative.
My heart goes out to you and your family.
Know that everyone here is saddened to hear that Marion has left us, and we appreciate the fact that we all were lucky to know her.

Goodspeed, and hope to see you soon Jim.

Best Regards,

Judy Coburn
