May God be with the family & friends that Marci left behind. Marci and I were life long friends and spent many hours as children playing with Barbie dolls at Grandma & Grandpa Sanders and I will always remember having to have Grandpa Sanders retrieve our dolls from the trees many times, I think we might have irritated him but he never complained as we sat laughing...that is one thing that I will miss the most is wherever Marci was there was laughter, what a beautiful friend she was to all and will be missed greatly! Rest in Peace my Friend!
