Mrs. Marder was a classic lady. I truly admired her. Her children were lucky to have her for a mother. She is surely one of God´s angels on earth now spreading joy in heaven.

I was fortunate to have her in my life!Sleepovers at her house were the best, waking up to the smell of fresh brewed coffee and the best iced brownies hidden in her roaster!
