I am saddened to hear about Marcia. I first met her when she asked to tour my home in Kansas City (which her grandfather Harry had built; it was to be the Harris home for more than 50 years). It's a beautiful home and has photos of Marcia's aunt's wedding (held in the home in the 1930s) on the wall. My prayers with all.

I only met Marcia this year but her caring, supportive, loving nature, generousity, spirituality, artistic talents, and love of life helped form an instant bond between us. These qualities are all part of her immortal nature.

Terry, Craig, Lisa, Gary and MIchael and her treasured grandchildren, my heart is broken to lose our wonderful Marcia. We had been friends since age 4, so that's a long time. She was such a wonderful friend, person, artist, woman of faith, and I know that she will continue to watch over you and you will FEEL her presence and love. I love her radiant photo. Love, Linda (and Ken)
