I am the Director of LifeQuest of Arkansas (formerly Shepherd's Center of Little Rock). Marie was a long-time, beloved volunteer for us. We have missed her charming smile and kind spirit over the last few years as she grew more frail. Please know that many, many members of LifeQuest have you in our thoughts and prayers. It was a privilege and honor to have known and worked with her. Sincerely, Jan
