Not sure what to say?

Marcie you were one of the most amazing woman I had the pleasure of meeting. Your enthusiasm for music, movies, history, baseball (The Cubs) and the knowledge of so many subjects just intrigued me. You will always be in my heart. Thank you for letting me in your life. Miss you forever.

I had the pleasure of re-acquainting myself with Aunt Marcie on a visit to Arizona. I can only say that like the music she sang, and the movies she watched and the team she "rooted" for she too was a "classic" and will be adored by all the angels in heaven!

Aunt Marcie was one of the most loving women on earth. She loved all of her family unconditionally. We will miss her alot and she will always be in our hearts.

I'm Marcie's niece, Linda, and for the last ten years of her life she lived with me. I will miss her wonderful disposition, and talking to her. I'll miss her singing down the hall, and her cheering on her favorite team, the Chicago Cubs. But most of all, I'll miss questioning her about history and her knowledge on so many issues.
