I have known Marzetta since forever. The last time I had a chance to visit her was in early June at the clinic. It was always good to visit her. I commented on her long hair.

I had the privilege of working with Marzetta through the Elderly Program. She was a kind, warm hearted woman who cared for those who worked for her and was always looking for someone who needed help. She was so proud of her grandson and spoke of him often. I will miss visiting and working with her. Fly with the angels Marzetta.
