I just want to let you guys know you are all in my thoughts and prayers. I'm so saddened by Marla's passing. She truly was a wonderful and caring person. She was also so much fun to be around and enjoyed all our times together talking and watching the Eagles play ball. She will be missed by all of us.

I'm so sad to hear about Marla's passing. As a child I remember going to her parents home and Uncle Lamar making pancakes for breakfast. I know Marla will missed greatly by her Gene, her children, grand children, and brothers.
As adults I don't know about or see anyone often, but know I do think about funtimes a family pinics and a other get togethers.
I'm currently in Florida or I would come to Des Moines.
I'll be saying a prayer for Marla and the family and friends who will surely miss her.
