To the Johnson and Virgil family.
My heart was sadden when I learned that Aunt Marcia had passed. Knowing that she had a personal relationship with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, we know where she is going to spend eternity.

I will never forget all the good times we had together at Ms. Johnson's house for so many years. Aunt Marcia was my inspiration.

May God Keep you during your this time of bereavement. Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal. Love you all!
