Rest in peace Marcia, we started kindergarten together. Marcia was always a sweet girl/lady. Life is short.
Heartfelt feelings of love, peace and sympathy for the loss of this beautiful soul. To Jeff, Desiree, Tabby and Ethen, please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers and may God wrap his loving arms around you and guide you through this difficult time. With love, peace and sympathy for your loss.
I’m sorry for your loss, Jeff. I have fond memories of your mom as smiling and always so warm, welcoming and friendly to all. God bless her soul.
She was such a sweet lady and I appreciated her helping with newsletter mailings at First Presbyterian Church.
My deepest sympathy to you all. Marcia and Charlie were an important part of our lives. I knew them for most of my life. Charlie was a groomsman in our wedding, and Tim and I were in their wedding. Many happy and fun memories roller skating, playing cards, and just being together through the years.
So many wonderful memories.
Jeff, Desiree, and other family members,
You are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
When your heart is empty, filling it with happy memories can help. Time will soften your loss and ease your burden. My thoughts, prayers, sympathy and condolences to you, Jeff, and the entire family. Marcia was a special cousin who always brought joy and happiness wherever she was. I can’t count the number of good family times we have had through the years. May God’s love help you through your grief and bring you peace. Lots of Love to all,
Our condolences to Jeffrey and his family. Your mom was always happy, laughing and so talented. I enjoyed seeing all of you in one of the plays in TR years ago. We are Marcia’s high school classmates, Class of 1960, and I went to grade school with her. May God surround you with His peace, comfort and love.
