I met you 20+years ago as you worked with my son, Trey, at Kawasaki. We shared several luncheons and dinners together when we all got together. You quickly became my friend and I enjoyed talking and always visiting with you. You will be sorely missed. Love you Ms. Marsha!

I will miss you dearly. I know heaven has really gained an angel. You had a heart of gold and would always tell me that you loved me after all of our phone calls. I will miss passing by that yellow house seeing that red Toyota. Farewell my friend, until we meet again.
Love Telisa
