Dear Dennis and Family,
I am so sad to hear of your loss. I will always remember my dear cousin Marsha with a big smile and her always cheerful disposition. Although we lived in different parts of the country,we shared many exciting school events through letters we wrote to each other from the time we were eight through our teens. We continued our visits through emails and phone conversations which
I enjoyed as Marsha was a loving, always up kind of person. I will miss her very much.
Love,
Madelon

Marsha was my best friend since the first day of the first grade. I am sad that she is gone, but glad that she can rest in peace now. My thoughts are with her family.

To the Dan family: We're so sorry to hear of your great loss. We fondly remember Mrs Dan as a loving and devoted caregiver to our two young girls many years ago, where she created an environment full of art projects, dogs, critters, reptiles, laughter and love. May God bless you all in this time of sorrow.
