I will always cherish our friendship. We talked many times on the phone after she retired from working with us. I remember the time when we found out that you Lorea and Megan work together, Megan, a dear friend of my family. That seem like it connected us as family and friends. Love you all and will continue praying for all of you through the days ahead. I know comfort comes from Jesus and we know that Marie is with him. Love, Dot Heath
