Prayers for Marsha's family. Just found out about her passing. So sorry. We were neighbors for many years. She was a strong person going thru many difficult years , losing her father, brother,and of course her biggest supporter Terry. Together they gave Jennifer and Becky love and with their help, gave Missy what she needed to stay home. We admired them all for the trials put before them. So sorry for your loss .
