Dear Bonnie, Herb, and Mark
I am saddened to learn of Marcie's passing. She is the last one of her generation in our family. It is hard to believe that we are now "the elders." I will cherish the memories of the many good times we all shared together with Marcie, who always kept things fun and lively. My deepest sympathy to you and your families.

Bonnie and Brad...my heart is filled with deep sadness upon learning of your mom's passing. Marshie was not only a beautiful woman outwardly, but such a beautiful person as a lifelong friend to myself and my entire family...the relationship between my mom and dad and your mom and dad was always so special...even though my dad and I moved to Florida almost 4 yearsd ago, my dad talked to Marshie every morning and every evening. We will miss her and think of her every single day...,we love you, Steve and Uncle Abe

Dear Bonnie, I want to extend my deepest sympathy to you and your family in the passing of your beloved mother. I have such wonderful and fond memories of your mom from growing up at the beach and then in later years when I lived at Lakeview. Both your mom and dad were such warm and loving people. Marshey will be missed by all her knew and loved her. May she rest in peace.
