I went to school with Marvetta and had just recently got in contact with her on Facebook. I am so sorry to hear of her passing. I am very thankful to have gotten to catch back up with her for the little time we had. Rest in Jesus arms dear friend and save room for us class of 81 friends. I’ll always remember you with the best of memories
