time she is at Lomita Post Acute Center, 1955 Lomita Boulevard, Lomita, CA

The fellowship extends
our love and sympathy to Joe Marcin whose wife Mary Marcin passed
during the first week of January 2015. Mary had been doing battle with one
thing after the other and nothing seemed to work. We are very sorry for this
loss.
From UUA: We covenant to affirm and promise a free and responsible search for truth and meaning. A goal of world community with peace, liberty and justice for all.
