Marquita was my ex sister-in-law, and a very kind, thoughtful individual. When I was married to her brother David, I had a lot of growing to do, and a chip that needed to be knocked off my shoulder, she was the kindest of people to tolerate my immaturity. I thank her and her entire family for the kindness they gave me. I'm heartbroken to find her here, but happy Im happy that I can visit with her now. Thanks to Sandra, who transferred this bio to me. Much love in Heaven, .........Carole
