"Marjorie was so pleasant to talk with. I enjoyed talking with her when she would come to Raymond and Brandon's conferences. She played such an active role in the upbringing of those two boys. It was an honor to get to know her and I know she will be deeply missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of her family and friends. Stephanie McNeill"
