Donald Marquette was my mother’s big brother. Marylin Ruth Marquette, 02/13/28-06/02/2007. Mom told me that her mother was never able to reconcile Don’s death; in a world at war, he died in a storm, over the US. He was poised to help make history, and his time came up short. Thank you for the memorial!
