To the family of Ann "Nancy" Marsh. I am writing on behalf of the Howard and Kay Somers family. The Marsh's were good friends of my parents who are both deceased. Howard, our dad, was also in the Coast Guard. Losing parents is a difficult life transition. It's the awesome memories that we continue to seek out and hold dear. We understand and have empathy for your heartache. May God bless you all!
