Marcia was such a wonderful person. Our family will miss her. She and George were like grandparents to our children, and she was a good friend to me. We loved taking long walks with my dogs and chatting and seeing what was new in the neighborhood. I'll never forget either of them

Peter,
I am so sorry to hear about your mom. No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. My deepest condolences are with you.
