Not sure what to say?

I worked for Bob and Marcy many years ago as an art director at circle M- I have so many amazing memories from that time. The main one is how kind and patient and caring they were to me and everyone in the camp. They had boundless energy and love.

I have known Marci for many years as we went to high school together. I have known her and Bob ever since. I have shared many loving years with them. Marci was full of life, love and the pursuit of justice. I will miss her and think of her for the rest of my life ( I am 91) I also am a good friend of Aaron and his family and I send love to all the Brower family as they mourn the loss of this amazing woman/

Dear Brower Family,

My heart goes out to all of you as I was so sad to hear of Marcy's passing. I have known Marcy since I first went to Circle M Day Camp and she has always been so sweet, caring, loving and kind to me for all these years. I last saw Marcy and Bob at a family Ice Cream Social and I always looked forward to our visits. Marcy was a class act as she was so talent with her art work as I felt honored to see her at one of her exhibits, while I was visiting family in...

I was a counselor at Circle M in the late 70s and was forever transformed by Marcy and Bobs love and commitment to an inclusive and loving community philosophy. She will live forever in my heart.

Dear Bob and Family,
I was a camper at Circle M at the end of the 1950s and have fond memories of Circle M and Cap and Marcy. Who knew a lollipop tree could be so special? Who knew 2 camp directors could be so magical? I sent my children to Circle M and they loved it as much as I did. Thank you for the magic of compassion and whimsy.

Dear Bob and family, I am saddened to hear of the news that Marcy recently passed away. You have my deepest and most sincere condolences. Although I only worked for you and Marcy from 1978-1981 at Circle M, the two of you had a profoundly positive impact on my subsequent educational career. Marcy always demonstrated by both words and actions that children came first, and that the social-emotional needs of children were of equal, if not greater, importance to the cognitive, physical and other...

Dear Bob,

I was so saddened to hear for Marcy's passing. I am sure you don't remember me but I sent both my kids to Circle M. It was life-changing for both of them. They learned the meaning of competing without competition, the values of kindness and respecting all people from you and Marcy. The families whose lives you both touched are endless. I drive by the property and always think wonderful thoughts about our times at Circle M. I am so sorry for the loss of your amazing wife....

Dear Bob and family,

My deepest sympathy to you and your family. My memory of Marcy goes back to the summer of 1962 when I worked for you at your Circle M Camp. You and Marcy were always there to greet me when I rolled in to your camp in my bus filled with happy campers.
Whenever I needed help, I knew I could always count on Marcy to come to my rescue. I'll always remember the closing week of camp when you had me direct a water ballet performance for the parents even though I had...

Bob, you and Marcy were such a wonderful influence on my life as a camper and then counselor and pool director. I will always remember Marcy's kindness, calm, depth, and wisdom. My thoughts are with you.
