I just found out about my dear friend Marion's passing. I'm so very sorry she was so special. We were best friends through grade and high school. We enjoyed so many laughs and fun times together. We shared many tears when Millie got sick too. I loved her very much. I'm so sorry for your great loss Carm and your dear family. May Marion RIP.
