View all 17 ReflectionsLee it’s been 41 years we were kind brother, both ex’s of sisters that we were married too, room mates and good friends. I always enjoyed our time together, I am so sorry you were robbed of time on earth. I lost track of Marsha “your loving bride” over time. You would have been very proud of your children. Think of you often.
