Dearest Tom, Terri, Frank, Peggy, We share your loss. We were country kids that your Mom & Dad (as well as you) took under your wings. Making us a part of your family. A treasure that few find in a friendship, especially in a "business - friend - relationship"
We shall always be thankful for our memories we made with them on trips but especially at the Marchisello home, Lakemont Swim Club, and later, in Tulsa when your Mom traveled alone, when we would look at photos of when we lived in Raleigh and talk about your Dad. Though sad, her loving memories and you (your families) kept her heart alive. Our deepest sympathy, love, and prayers are with you. Sharon and Vic

Dear Family, Please know that Kirk and I share your loss with you. Oh what memories we have of all the fun that we had together not only with Rhoda but with Frank, especially here at the lake. She was a wonderful lady and will be missed by many, including US! We are just so happy that she did not suffer anymore than she did and that she is now with her Savior and Frank. Oh how wonderful and what a beautiful picture in my mind that makes. Our love and deepest sympathy to all of you. With much love and many blessings, Kirk and Mary-Margaret
