I spent many happy hours at the Brunasky home as a young woman. Linda and I danced our hearts out in the den there. I knew Linda’s big sister, Marie, and am sure she helped us learn to dance. I will keep the faily in my prayers.

After searchinng for several years, I finally found my Marie today. So very sad.

I am Marvin Russell Shelley. Marie and I dated for 2-3 years in high school. She was my first love. When she went away to college, we lost contact. She did call me sometime in the 1980s and we had a great conversation.

If any of her family reads this, please contact me. I would like to know more about her life.
