Testimonials
Marla is an inspirational force. I had her speak at our Annual Lady Veteran's Luncheon and her story of loss, fear, hope, and the future encouraged all of us. Not many dry eyes in this room of war heroes and volunteers. Having Marla share her verbal artistry with our group was easily the best addition to our annual luncheon in many years, and we are very grateful to have heard her message in person.
