Dear Melanie,
My condolence to you and your family. Just learned of Moms passing and am saddened. I have fond memories of Mrs. Markham. We only worked together for a year at Alta Loma but I like to think that as we met throughout the community over the years we had a fondness for each other. She will be missed. Blessings to you all , Paula Morrison Davis.
