Marsha sat by my husband and I every Sat evening mass when she was still attending at Blessed Sacrament. One day she stopped coming. We were concerned about her because she asked us to give her a ride home on a couple of occasions as she wasn’t feeling well. We thought about checking on her again when we missed her but didn’t want to intrude. I am glad she was with her family who she talked about all the time. She was a wonderful person. I always looked so forward to seeing her and was sad when she no longer came to mass. We prayed for her. We are so sorry for your loss and all the lives she touched.
