Marcia was the most talented seamstress I ever knew. She could make anything without a pattern and loved a challenge. But it was her heart of gold that made her who she was—a friend to everyone who brought her a project to sew and while st it, she always had an ear to listen. She always found time to squeeze my projects in, even during her busiest wedding or prom times, and I suspect she was that way with everyone. She was fiercely proud of her daughters and their families and she loved Rick beyond words. May all of you be comforted in knowing that “time is a dressmaker specializing in alterations.”
With sincere sympathy,
Tara George
