Marva was a sweet person. I met her at church. She will be missed. Rest in peace with the Lord, Marva.

I always looked forward to seeing Marva on Monday mornings for the dance class that I taught her through the Fort Wayne Dance Collective Outreach program. She was a delight to have in class and a wonderful dancer! I will miss her so much and I know that she is still dancing from above! You made this world a better place, Marva!
