I grew up knowing this family as a child. My dear friend Maricela and I were playmates and I would often spend the night at their home. I remember her mother being so loving, always in the kitchen cooking. I have very fond memories of my times there. I would love to see my friend again. Marcy look me up on Facebook. I miss you dear friend.
Thanks for such beautiful memories.

I am sorry for your loss--I just now saw this obituary. I am an old school friend of Marcy's and have been looking for her on and off for years. She is an Amphi High Grad and if anyone knows how to contact her, I would love to connect. I went by "Patty" in school. I'm on Facebook as "notyourmom".

Teresa was a wonderful person. Frank and my dad were friends when I was a child, we spent many days with them. I remember her and my mom making green corn tamales, the best ever. Prayers to Marcella and Micaela and family.
