Our deepest sympathy to the family of Madame Brecht. My daughter had her as her French teacher in middle school at The Bryn Mawr School for Girls and always held her in highest regards. Please know that she touched many students and gave them so much in her classes.

RIP, Marion.
You were such a delightful, kind, sweet lady.

To the Brecht Family,
Please accept our sincere condolences on the loss of your dear one. May the " God of all comfort " be with you and fill your hearts with wonderful memories of Marion to cherish.

To the family of Marion I offer my sincerest condolences. She taught me in both middle school and in high school. She was a passionate educator with high standards, but was a person who exuded grace, capped off by a a quick wit. I will miss making her laugh. A testament to the life she lived will be those who like me were taught to be open to seeing and thinking about this world differently.

Marion, you touched my life. It was a wonderful day when I met you and George and it makes me intensely sad we will not be able to do so anymore. My thoughts and prayers are with George and your children. I never met Argus, but I know how your eyes would light up when you spoke about him. I am so sorry he won't have you around growing up.
Thank you for all the things you were to so many people; a life very well lived.
