Marchelle I will love you and miss you forever. You are such a big part of my life, it still doesn't seem quite real. I'll remember the good times and cherish the time we did have together.
Your Loving Sister

Pam & Bobby, I cannot find the words to express how sorry I am for your loss, Marchelle was a sweet little girl who grew into a young woman, I was lucky enough to meet her when she was a little girl, she always had a smile on her face everytime I saw her. You and Marhelle are in our thoughts and prayers.

Marchelle was a student in several of my classes and I served as her Academic Advisor at USM. She was a joy to have in class...very bright and personable. I was deeply saddened to learn of her passing. My sympathy to the family--you can be proud of the wonderful young woman she grew to become. She will be missed and remembered.

Dear Pamela,
There are no words to express my most heartfelt thoughts which I send to you, Bobby and the rest of Marchelle's family and loved ones.
Those of us who knew Marchelle from the time she came to visit you at BPW as a little girl, to more recent times, when she grew to be such a special young lady, were fortunate to have had her touch our lives.
Marchelle's zest for life was contagious when you were around her. She was so mature and grounded for someone her age. That is something you should always be so proud of. You gave her wings and she surely soared higher than most of us ever do.
I believe Marchelle will always be with you in spirit.

To Marchelle's Family: I only had the pleasure of knowing Marchelle for a short time. In that small amount of time I observed a warm, very friendly, bright and self-assured young lady, someone to be very proud of.

My deepest condolences,

Pamela - I've hesitated to write something down here, because I don't really know what to say. Words fail me (as hard as that may seem to believe)...When our boys each turned 13, Lauren and I read them a letter, which we wrote, telling them how proud we were of them, how much we loved them, and the joy their development as kids growing up had brought to us. We'd seen our Jewish friends do this as part of their 13 year-old children's Bar Mitzvah ceremonies, and thought it was a wonderful way to tell a child how much they mattered. We'll do the same for our daughter when she turns 13. I'm sure the letter you wrote to Marchelle after she died that was read at her burial was not the first time you told her how much she meant to you. She was loved - and she knew it - and it gave her the foundation and the strength to be the kind of person she was. Hold onto that. They may not say it - especially during their teen years - but more than anything, a child wants to be loved by someone they can look up to and fall back on when they need to. Marchelle had that kind of support, and it made all the difference for her during her short time here on earth.

To Marchelle's family,
I want to express my sympathy for your loss. I got to know Marchelle at USM. She was an amazing person, a wonderful friend and will be greatly missed by all.

I knew Marchelle in Merrimack. I liked to call her Marchelle even though she introduced herself as Chelle. The first things that come to mind are the hair cuts she gave me, even when she had a busy schedule, and the good times we had watching the Emperor's New Grove. We quoted that movie the rest of the school year. While most of our friends grew up in Merrimack and had been together for years, it soon felt like Marchelle was there from the beginning. If anything, it was hard to share her with the family and friends she had in Mass for most of the weekends. She is loved and will always hold a warm place in our hearts

To Chelle's family and Dave,

I couldn't believe when I heard. You will all be in my prayers. Dave, my sister was in the same position years ago, as you are now. It's hard, but I asked her once how she got through it, and she said she just took one day at a time, and she tried to stay busy. Corbetts, I haven't seen you in a long time, but I hope that our knowledge of where Chelle is will get you through this hard time. I love you and I love your daughter.
