To Alan,Ashley and Kayla,
It is so hard to find the words to express the sadness I feel over Marsha's death.
It has made me think of so many good times we shared. The outerbanks when she almost had me para sailing and sleeping with her on a dock off the Hudson when we were in college together.Getting snowed in at the house in Elk mountain and so many good times just talking and laughing and of course sharing cocktails(beers for Marsha) Genny cream at the time! Her wedding and when the girls were born. She loved all of you so much. She was beautiful,strong and fierce and will be missed by so many. She left us all too soon but I feel honored to have shared an important part of my life with her.

To Marsha's family & friends:

I was so sorry to hear the news of Marsha's passing. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. I worked with Marsha at CTI; whenever I think of Marsha, I think of her laugh. She had one of those laughs that made you laugh with her. She was always talking about her girls, she loved you so much and was so proud of you.

She's with God in a better place now.

To Marsha's Family:
I worked with Marsha at CTI. When I first came to the company, Marsha was the first one to offer help and support...I considered her my mentor. What a great smile and wonderful laugh she had. She especially loved to talk about things her daughters were involved with. It was obvious to me that she loved them very much. I was saddened to hear of Marsha's passing and will keep both her and the family in my prayers.

To Marsha's family and mostly her girls, Ashley and Kayla, my thoughts and prayers are with you. I got to work with Marsha for a couple years at CTI. She was always very cheerful and smiling and pleasant to be around, but the thing I remember the most is when I would ask about her daughters, her face lit up! She loved talking about you and she was very proud of you. She will always be in your heart. I pray God give you comfort and blessings.

Dear Kim and Family,

I cannot believe Marsha is gone from this world; I know she is at peace and in a better place.
I will never forget meeting you and Marsha at the rolling rink "Spinning Wheels" with Shellem. We had so many good times together almost every weekend; I will never forget taking Marsha and others to a Philles playoff game in 1977; wonderful time!
I have a million memories of Marsha and will always treasure her as a great friend.

God bless Marcia and your family....
