Marcie fought a long and hard fight. She was one of the most loving and caring people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. She will be greatly missed, but I'm sure the angels in heaven are glad to have her join them. Ella Mae, I know she is up in heaven, but she'll be watching over you. I love you both so much.
