Rob, Keleigh,Robbie,Morgan and Katherine,
I was so sorry to hear your mother and grandmother passed away. She was a beautiful person. I was glad I got to see her home and do lunch at the Tea Room last time I was there. She was so kind and absolutely loved her dogs. My heart goes out to you all. Prayers as well.

Louise and I are so sorry to hear of Bobbie Anna's passing. I had been enjoying our long telephone calls about the history of our large family–all eight of the "Marshall girls" and my father, Kenneth or "Bill," the only son, and all of our cousins. We also talked proudly of our own children and grandchildren, as well as anything that came to mind.
I can surely say that I will miss her greatly.
Kenneth ("Billy") Marshall, Jr.
