 I was stunned and deeply saddened to read of Marcie's passing. We were classmates throughout elementary school. 1-12 She was a beautiful bright lady, and my heart goes out to her family.  It is expecially poignant that I pulled up this link, only to discover that today would have been her 57th birthday.  I know how painful this must be for all who loved her.  She will be missed.  Deeply sympathies, Sincerely, Sally Loth (Michaels)

MARCIE WAS A BEAUTIFUL PERSON!

IT IS SAD THAT WE LEARN OF OUR FRIENDS PASSING THROUGH A REUNION SIGHT.

MY PRAYERS AND THOUGHTS ARE WITH ALL OF HER FAMILY.
