I was never fortunate enough to meet Marion. However, I have a new friendship daughter, Gina. I´ve been blessed to meet a nice positive woman active in her church and Springfield philanthropy among others. I´m sure the apple doesn´t fall far from the tree. She obviously lives on through her children. What a testament to her legacy.

I did work for her many times. Mrs. Garrison was a fine lady! May she R.I.P. next to her husband.
