I am so sad to hear of Marc's passing. His smile was contagious and we shared many, many special memories that I will never forget. We spent our lives talking about the fun we had growing up together and visiting our grandparents on Robert E. Lee Blvd.
I loved him so much! My heart and prayers are with everyone today.
