Marcy MorrisBob and family, So very sorry to hear of Joan's passing. We worked together for several seasons at Mattel (special handling-giftwrap) ..and you too Bob. You guys were both such a positive presence, and kept us all engaged and laughing throughout the day. It would not have been the same there without you two ! Remember the little impromptu 50th anniversary party in the lunchroom. I made a fresh flower corsage and boutiniere for you and they had a nice cake for everyone too. You were both a wonderful example of a good marriage and a good work ethic. I've thought of you folks often and have many nice memories from our time together. May all your memories of your happy life together give you comfort now, and I will say a prayer of thanks and gratitude for having known you both. Bob keep telling your jokes and funny stories. The world could use more people like you . Sad but grateful for our time together at Mattel. Sincerely, Marcy Morris
