I just learned of Marsha's death and I wanted to say that she was always smiling, friendly and happy. She adored her family. We knew each other from village school and through high school. I always enjoyed chatting with her and sharing our lives. Such a sweet person. I'm sorry to hear she is gone.

Marsha was always a ray of sunshine at Dr Minya's office. I will always miss our catching up each time with my tails of Randy and Trish. A great Santa Rosan even if she went to the wrong high school! Lol
