Knew Marsha fairly well. She was such a joy to work with and work for. Very outspoken and funny had many days sitting out front of Reibold building just talking. A very caring person and she will be missed by all that knew her. I remember when her and Burt come to work with a crib in her suv for my granddaughter. What a surprise. I'll miss you Marsha and all the good times we had.
