December 15, 2016 at 12:44 amShe was a loving sister and a good friend to those that she came in contact. As the youngest of the girls I had a very good role model to live up to. I can’t express in words what her passing means to me. But I know she is with her Lord and Savior, our parents, sister, Roberta, and a host of other family members and friends. I love you Mar.
