Sixtyfive (65) years, length of time Marcia Jo and I have been friends, is a long, long time. There are lots of great fun, fond memories between us.

To the Perkins family,
Marcia Jo was truly a friend, a confidant and a wonderful human being. Words cannot express how much we loved her and how much we will miss her. I can still see her smiling face and hear her laughter. She's with the Lord now however she will always be in our hearts.

You were my mother and my friend,
Which was unusual.
Somehow our characters still blend:
Your wisdom and my will.
I turned, and you were there for me;
I spoke, you understood.
I felt cared for, but also free;
You loved, and I was good.

I'm fortunate that I was born
To someone just like you;
I love you still. Though you are gone,
You live in what I do.
