Not sure what to say?

Wow two years already and yet I still think of Marcia often. I will always miss her

Marcia and I were grammar school friends. She was the smart one in our crowd. Wise beyond her years. I moved to Chicago and we lost track. What a beautiful tribute to an exceptional woman. Thank you, Alys for sharing her rich and fulfilling life with all and with this friend from so long ago. I wish we had kept up over the years. Certainly my loss. It would have been wonderful to know her. Donna Kato Florissant, CO

Dear Alys, I am so sorry to hear of Marcia´s passing. I have fond memories of the times we spent together, and how proud Mark was of both his daughters. I know it is a terrible loss for you, and you are in my thoughts. I´m not sure when we last talked, but my partner and I moved to Santa Fe two years ago. In the midst of the pandemic we just up and moved, rented a two hundred year old adobe near Nambé. We spent most of the first year in lockdown, but starting last spring we have met some...

Dear Alys, I just learned of Marcia's passing and am sad to hear the news. You have my deepest sympathies for your loss.

Please accept the condolences of the Bethel family. What a beautiful photo of Marcia, to help us recall her beauty and grace.

I was fortunate to have shared more than a year of young romance with Marcia. All dressed up for senior prom. Our first concert to see Peter, Paul & Mary at the civic auditorium in April 1969 after she attended the Rosary with me for my Grandfather. Marcus was great support that night. We spent many afternoons that spring and summer at a park, picnicking and enjoying the warmth of the sun together in the tall mustard. I enjoyed seeing her at our 10 year reunion. I will always have a special...

I was saddened to read of Marcia's passing. I was in Bulldog Studio @ SJHS with her dad in the 60's & decades later (after our 40 yr '63 reunion) thru him I met lovely Phyllis & their daughters Alys & Marcia. I was Honored to lunch with Mark & Phyllis regularly & to even attend a Thanksgiving dinner @ Marcia's with their wonderful family. Marcia was a talented, creative artist & fine teacher, like her dad. She was devoted to her family & it was fun to run into her @ Aqui's. Heartfelt...
