Mike and Family…….Wayne, Wally, Warren and Jan………I was in the hospital last week and just now found out about Marsha’s passing from Jon Long. Dating all the way back to the St. Paul childhood years and the parents’ card-playing gatherings at one another’s homes, Marsha was always a lovely person. My deepest sympathies for your loss. God bless you all……. Jim Koop
