Not sure what to say?

Art and I were talking about Marcelle two days ago! I can't believe it has been a year. She was a constant star in a matrix of remarkable friends of the family. I hope the family is doing well with her passing.

I am keeping Marcelle's family and friends in my heart and prayers at we near the anniversary of her passing, a time of loving remembrance. The hope, creativity, and joy you offer to others throughout your lives honor her, a beautiful tribute.

Marcelle was a wonderful constant in my many years of visiting Charleston. I met her and Max the very first time I was there to meet my own future in-laws and thoroughly enjoyed them both. At Bishop Gadsden, no visit was complete without Marcelle and her always warm and positive greetings.

I send love to the entire family.

Wonderful person!

Extending my deepest sympathy to you during this time. My love, prayers and blessings are with you. Your mom will be missed at BG.

My deepest condolences upon the passing of this amazing woman. Mrs. Furchgott was a leader and gentle guide to so many. I can still her her voice. From the time she and Max took my engagement photo when I was 21 to the years I was also a docent at the Gibbes, I enjoyed her amazing spirit. May you be comforted by the knowledge that her presence in our world was a shining light.

David, I remember your mother with grace and warmth when I was young and went to their studio. In my dining room. I look up and see a lovely photo in shadow box they did when I was 16. It is a loving memory. I did not know where your path had taken you but hope you and your siblings are doing well. Your Mother's kind words and warm smile will always be a loving memory for me. With prayers, Rosalyn Kramer

Heartfelt condolences to all of the Furchgott family as you honor Marcelle's memory and grieve your loss. She was vivacious and lovely in every way. May the many happy memories uplift you as you celebrate her life.

Marcelle was always a beautiful, kind, vivacious person. The Williams family shared many good times with her. Our condolences to the family.
