We have lived in the same neighborhood with Marsha, Dick and their family for over 30 years. We were stunned to hear this very sad news at such a late date (April 28th). Our sincere sympathy to her husband and family. We know they will miss her, as will her neighbors on Harbor Drive.

Our sincerest sympathy. We only knew Marsha for a short time by attending the Covenent Church with our daughter Deborah and her family. We will miss Marsha's radiant smile and all the beautiful art work that she shared with us when we saw her and visited with her at the church.
