It has been more than a year since Marcia's passing but it is an event that shook me deeply. I worked on aircraft being flown by Marcia and she could not have been more kind and more understanding. You don't find that in many pilots. She elevated them as a group. She was, obviously, someone very special and I am sorry for the families loss.

I never had the privilege of meeting you but Davide has been my friend for many years. As well as I know Dave, there is no doubt that you were an incredible and wonderful woman. May you forever rest in peace.

Dear Stephanie and Megan, It seems like just yesterday that you were riding at West Neck with your mom cheering and supporting you. I think of you both and your mom often and I was overwhelmed with sadness to hear of her tragic accident. What a wonderful woman! I hope fond memories comfort you in this difficult time. God bless you and yours! Love, Stephanie Kinzel

Dave,
My prayers are with you. Lean on the Lord, He will be your strength and the only thing that will give you true peace. May the Lord give you the Strength, Peace and Understanding to make it through each day. Anytime you want to talk or come by...we are here. When I explained what happened to Sophia she said "Momma, that's ok...she has beautiful Angel wings just like my Daddy and she will always live in here (while she pointed to her heart)." So remember that Dave. No time and no one will ever be able to take away the love you had for each other.

Davide, Stephanie, Matt, Megan, Dave, Connie, Micki and Bubba, Thinking of you all during this difficult time. Marcia's candle burned out way too soon. She did live life to its fullest, but most of all she LOVED her family and there wasn't anything she wouldn't do for you girls. "When we all get to heaven, what a day of rejoicing that will be, when we all see Jesus we'll sing and shout the victory". You will be missed - until we meet again. Paula, Barry, Hunter, Kyle & Forrest Knight

When Marcia came to Michigan in 2005 she brought photos of her children and Davide. She beamed with pride

When Marcia walked into a room it brightened. Every time, no matter what and Marcia never realized the effect she created with her joy and love of life. Being so unaware of how beautiful and amazing she was made her even more special to all of us who got to spend time with her. May we all carry that light with us every day and live our lives sharing the joy and love that she offered so freely to us.

In God's universe, there are many mansions. A place was prepared for Marcia long before she left her earthly bonds and she is there now with the Heavenly Host. In the Eternal Love of Our Father, there is no death, only LIFE. The transformation from material to spirit is overseen by the Holy Trinity and none shall ever need to fear dropping the mortal coil to put on the Heavenly Garment of Light which awaits us.

Megan,Stephanie and daddy Dave, condolences from Princess Anne Middle. I am deeply saddened by your loss. As I pass the farm most every day I think of a great family and your great mother/wife. She was a class act. She touched many people with her energy. She was super involved with you girls as teenagers and a lovely person to talk to. Faith and friends will help you deal with the loss. All the Salmons kids I taught have a special place in my heart. Traveling past the farm will constantly bring back great memories. Thanks for being a part of my life.
