I attended Rochester Grade school with Marsha. We had so many good times together. From playing basketball, baseball, cheerleading, and dancing at school dances. Of course probably our greatest times were riding horses together! Life has passed so quickly. All these memories seem like just yesterday. Bless you Marsha. I will always remember you.

Mark, life is not a bowl of cherries. You were given the fruit of the spirit in full. You will be ok,, Love you!
