Not sure what to say?

You are now in the simultaneity of Eternity, along with our friend, Martin Luther King, who said "An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualist concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity." Lyn in his 10-14-2016 paper: FOR THE LOVE OF MANKIND: AGAPE IS THE HIGHEST REASON FOR THE EXPLORATION OF SPACE" in this work he talks about the 3 principles of Krafft Ehricke. Were it not for you, he would be a footnote in some 22nd history...

Marsha was an inspiration to me, as someone who could show you what was possible for the future of humanity. Her optimism was infectious, and her enthusiasm for what space science could do to transform the world, made an impact on all who knew her. I will miss her wry smile, and wonderful sense of humor.

Marsha was such a great citizen of the whole world. Her love of space and science took her to many countries, and she worked with her colleagues from all over the globe for the sake of the future. And she, and Bill, clearly had such a wonderful time doing this! Rest in peace, Marsha. Thou thy worldly task hast done, Home art gone, and ta’en thy wages....

A Bright Star in the Universe! You'll be our guide and shining light to a better humankind.

On behalf of the Administration, Faculty and Staff of Queens College, we would like to extend our heartfelt condolences to the entire family.

May she Rest in Peace,

I've known Marsha for all of my adult life. Over the years, Marsha's thirst for knowledge and the depth and breathe of what she achieved was nothing short of remarkable. To say that she is irreplaceable and that she will be missed somehow doesn't seem to be sufficient. I'm not a religious person, but I'd like to think that Marsha has finally taken her rightful place among the stars.

Marsha, More than anything else, for me you were my friend. You welcomed me into your life and work is ways no one else ever had before, and gave me opportunities to do things I might never had done otherwise. I will miss you terribly but I will never forget what you gave me. Carl Osgood

Earth & Sky Memorial

I am so sad to hear of Marsha’s passing. She was a wonderful person , a talented, dedicated journalist who published so many accurate, well written articles on fusion, space and other important scientific and technical programs.

I have known her since the 1970’s. She attended many Fusion Power Associates annual conferences over the years since then and we have missed her presence there in recent years due to her declining health.

The world has lost a star.
