I remember our rides to and from college. We had fun sharing memories of elementary through high school. Although I was three years behind her, our experiences were very similar.

Marsha and I went to school together from elementary through high school we were good friends. She was always so sweet and fun to be around. I will cherish my memories of her. I was blessed to have known her and I am thankful she is not suffering anymore. Knowing she is singing in that heavenly choir is such a wonderful thought. My prayers are with her family.
