My deepest condolences to the Myers family I just heard about Marjorie’s passing my heart was saddened to hear this. She taught me so much about nutrition and I was just recently sharing this with someone. She hired me to work at her health food store and I will always forever be grateful for those seeds sown into my life.
I will never forget her kindness and love she shared with me.
