Matt and Jennifer sorry to hear about your Mom. I often think of the times I worked down at your house, and baby sat. Although I was not strict enough for her. She came to my Dad's visitation, and I was so surprised to see her. You will be in my thoughts and prayers today.

Marcia's children: Sorry to hear of your loss. Marcia was never out of my mind through all the years. I was a classmate and had good times with Marcia. She will be missed.
