Dear Tony and family,
What Marcia has done for herself will go with her. What she has done for others remains and is immortal.
All of us will miss her but her love and kindness will forever live in our hearts.
Love,

Dear Anthony, Mike, and Dani - I am soo very sorry to hear about Marica passing away. I hold nothing but funny wonderful memories of her while I was growing up as a child. My family always enjoyed having such great neighbors. As my daughter says after losing her grandma just 2 1/2 short years again "Now I have an angel watching over me and my grandma makes the beautiful days for us." Please know that my thoughts are with all of you through this great loss. Let her memory live and speak of her often... Lots of love, Amber Koren (Bryant)
