To the Naples family,
I am so sorry about your loss. I have been Marcys best friend for 16 years and I married into the family last month marrying Marcy's cousin Steve Bowers. Anita was like a mother to me since my mother passed away 14 years ago today. She will be missed dearly. You are all in our familys thoughts and prayers......
