To the Harahus Family,

I am so very sorry to hear of Marcia's passing. I knew her in the 6th grade when I transferred from Catholic school to Chase Elementary. She was such a sweet girl and befriended me when I knew no one. I will always remember her kindness to me. God bless you, sweet Marcia.

With deepest sympathy,

John, our deepest sympathy to you and all the family on the homegoing of Marcia. She was a dear friend and a faithful member of Powers Memorial Baptist church for many years. We loved her dearly. She was always so cheerful and helpful in many ways. We will certainly miss her presence, but know she is free of sickness and resting in the arms of Jesus. We plan to donate to a memorial at church for Marcia. God Bless you and the family.
