Marcia was one of the smartest of all my many students! Not only was she smart, she was also kind
and sweet. I remember that some of the students admired her so because of her intellectual ability
and would often remark, “Whew! I don’t see how she keeps all that in her head!”
I extend my prayers and sympathy to her family!
