Marla and to ALL of the Kozarevich Family,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. It is so hard to lose a parent, no matter what length of time they were given to bless us with their presence/influence, or what circumstances surrounded their passing - whether it be sudden or anticipated, it is still so very difficult. My thoughts and prayers are with you all!
