I have known Marvin and Alberta literally all my life. She was such a wonderful, caring and funny lady! I’m sure she is leaving quite a legacy when I see how many family members she had! I was thinking about her just this last Saturday and wondering how she was…now I know she is home in the loving arms of our Saviour! God bless you all during your time of loss!
