I loved going to Marcia’s, such a cool house…ping pong…her cat Melrose…dinner at Grays. 🙂 I enjoyed our annual Log Cabin Tours in Nashville, IN. Most of all I appreciate how she was always there for the big moments in my life…graduation…wedding…she even came down to Texas for my firstborn’s baby shower!

Dear Robin, I am so sorry for your loss! May she rest in peace in the glory of God. Sylvia Hellmund
Max, I remember standing up with you and Marcia at your wedding. It seems like just a few years ago, not 56.I am so sorry for your lose. I remember staying at your home over night when you where in service in the Air Force. We had a nice visit. Again I want to say how sorry I am for you and all of your family. Jack & Patty Haymaker
Jack Ellen was glad you posted this for she could not remember who stood up with Max. Old age takes it’s toll.
Max I can’t tell you how sorry we are that we can’t be there in your time of need. I know this has to be a tough time for you and the family. We had some great times together and for those we will always be thankful. Love you guys, Larry & Ellen
