We are so happy that we came to know you, Marcia, and Mitch. We met through our sons' connection to USANC and we and they became fast friends. You were exceedingly generous to include Isaac in open gyms, and adventurous day trips with you and your family. We so enjoyed your visit last Saturday and sharing food at our home. Our hearts are heavy that you are gone, but our lives are richer because we knew your generous and caring heart and soul.
David, Caron, & Isaac
