    I met Marian when I was just 15 years old, through my friendship with Jenni and Scotty. I’ll never forget her sweet dog, Meacham, and the love she poured into every part of her life. Marian’s warmth and kindness left a lasting mark on me, and I’ll always carry those memories close.

    Jenni and Scotty, I am sending love and healing your way.
