Marcia - I worked with your mom at Survey Service. I have such fond memories of her and all the laughing we did everyday at work. Today when I got home from Temple I went in my recipe box for a recipe for dinner. The first recipe I came to was your mom's chocolate cake recipe. She gave it to me 23 years ago at my wedding shower. After just hearing about her famous chocolate cake from Andrea - I took it as a sign from her. I will continue to pray for your mom and your family. I also can't wait to make her chocolate cake for my children. Regards - Lizzie Palinkas-D'Amico
