I was so sorry to hear of Marcia's passing. I found out from my mom this past week. I didn't get to know her that well, but thwe times we spoke, it was pleasant and warm. My
thoughts are with you at this difficult time. I remember how it was losing my father and the great loss you must be feeling. May the days ahead bring better times and always keep Marcia in your hearts.

Dearest Steve and Chandler:
It is with very heavy hearts and great sadness that we write to you. Although the miles separate us, you have been in our thoughts and prayers through this very difficult time.
We have so many memories of Marcia which now provide much comfort. She was strong and determined, but also thoughtful, kind, and gentle. Perhaps my favorite is captured in a wonderful picture of you and Marcia, Jerry and I taken on your wedding day ... a day filled with hope, joy, and love. That picture has been on Jerry's dresser all these years --- our daily reminder of the love and happiness that you both shared with each other.
May God's Blessings provide you with strength and comfort.
Love
Jane, Jerry, and Emily
