I retired from State Fund Fund after 34 years and retired a few years after Marci, We first worked together in Data Processing in the 1970's and again in the San Francisco District Office Claims Dept. beginning in 1978. She was a mentor in claims and a great friend - part of that family at State Fund that sustained us whether we we needed to vent or we we needed to laugh. i treasure the small teddy bear she made for my collection and our shopping trips where fabric was always calling her name.
