Cornelia Bates (Madsen) (1957)
Marcia was a best friend in high school. We walked home together almost every day after school because we lived on neighboring streets. Sometimes I walked into her home with her and enjoyed her family, too. She had a fun laugh and we enjoyed telling fun stories to each other. That continued as we met for class reunions in the summer.
