Dear Marshall and Family,

I'm sorry to hear of the loss of your dear mother. I have fond memories of your Mom and felt a special kinship with her as a fellow moped rider. She was so good and supportive of my mother, who I know was also very fond of her. Blessings on you and your family during this difficult time. Love, Gina (Peanut Delage) Morus
