Joy, I am floored. I heard this news from Dave's message at church last night, put it together and wondered, sadly confirming just now. I'm so sorry!
You two had a special and wonderful relationship. Cherish those memories; may God's matchless grace and abundant mercies sustain you until again you see him in Glory! My heart and prayers are with you.

Dear Joy,
We were so very sad to hear of Marc's passing. Al has many fond memories of working with Marc at Frito-Lay and all those who knew him over the years will surely remember his kindness, loyalty and integrity. He was a true gentleman who lived out his faith in very tangible ways. We are praying for God to surround you and your family with His loving care as you mourn his passing.
With deepest sympathy,
Al and Jennie Schretter
