I am so sorry to hear of Marj's passing. She was a very special "angel" to me. When I first entered CCMH administration, she kept me on the straight and narrow....always getting me where I needed to be when I needed to be. And she always made sure I had what I needed and everything was spelled correctly. She was my friend and second mom to my kids. I loved her dearly. Cherish your memories, I know I will. Love to you all!
