My sympathy goes out to Mrs. Marquart's family. My mother, Ernestine Horne (passed away in March 2002), had 3 best friends during her food service career at Fort Wayne Community Schools many, many years ago. They were Helen, "Winkie" and "Tops". My mother loved the LORD and I believe her friends loved the LORD too. What a reunion they are having right now. I remember Bruce very well - a young man of good character.

Sincerely,

Laura Eckler-Snapp

I am so sorry to hear. I always considered Mrs. Marquart as a grandma to me I think she was kind of the neighborhood grandma. I know she was loved very much and will be missed just as much.
