So sorry to hear of Marcia’s passing. I always admired my cool older cousin. We didn’t get to see each other much due to living so far apart. Praying for her children and grandchildren.

We are saddened to hear of Marcia's passing (we just heard today). She was caring and had a big heart for animals as well as people. She was always very kind to our son Jason. He would often have chats with her when he would visit. She would chat with us when picking up or dropping the kids off for a visit. She was so kind. We are very sorry for your loss.
She will be missed.
