Rick is my third cusion. I am only ten years old, but have known about Marshall and Rick since I was five years old, and have always wanted to go to Marshall. In 2008 or 2009 I visited Marshall and I may have seen Mary Jane. I hope she is living a happy long life, and I feel the pain she feels. When I may have see Mary Jane, she was at the Mermoriale for Marshall.
