I'm so sorry for your loss. Sorry I couldn't make it to the visitation but I had previous engagements.

Dear Marcy and Family, My deepest sympathy to you and your family. Experiencing the way you nurture children, I can only imagine what a gem, daughter, sister, wife, friend, and child of God, Marissa must have been. Her light and spirit will continue to shine for eternity in Heaven and on Earth. May the Lord bless you and keep you. May his face shine upon you. May you receive strength, courage and a peace that passes all understanding.

My deepest sympathy to Marissa's family. I feel as though I was cheated in life because I never had the pleasure of meeting her and calling her my friend. My life is definitely not as full as it would have been had I met her. My condolences to all of you.

What a beautiful testimony of her life. Though we consider her life to have been short, it was a completed life and fulfilled the purpose for which God her Heavenly Father made her. Being in the presence of her Savior, she is now experiencing life to the fullest. Praying that the God of all comfort will comfort you as you finish this journey without her, knowing that in a little while you will see her and your sorrow will turn to joy.

Dean,Marcy,and Mikayla,

So very sorry for your loss. Heaven has gained a kind, beautiful, and compassionate young woman. Marissa always had a smile on her face and kind words from her heart. Please know I am thinking of you. Sending much love, prayers, and kisses...
