My dearest sister, Marsha-
You live on in my heart, as you will forever. My best memories of you will always be of us as children, playing and having way too much fun. We lost you too soon, and you are missed more than you could ever have imagined.
Love, Maurie

A Message to Marsha and her Family:
What an unbelievable loss I feel with you gone. It just doesn't seem real. I have such warm, fun, silly memories of all the times we spent together as kids. The jokes and pranks we would play and the endless hours of monopoly. We kept in touch over the years and the things is, your laugh never changed since you were a kid. You always had the same funny laugh that I can hear so clearly in my memory. I will miss that laugh! I loved you Marsha. You were a sister to me. I'm just so sad. I hope that your kids, Liv and Daniel, your Mom, Dad, Brother and all of the people that loved you, including me, will find peace at some point.

Love,
Your sister Cheryl

Marsha,
You had a grace about you that I not only respected, it was something you don't see much of anymore. You were very quiet when I met you and then you slowly opened up to me...and I'm so glad you did. You are free now... We'll see you again someday.

To the Couri & Thomas Families:

I just learned of Marsha's passing by e-mail. We graduated from
Centennial H.S. In our younger days we were friends and hung out together. She loved cinnamon-sugar toast with lots of it on the bread.

Several years ago I ran into Marsha and her husband and two young children at the Golden Corral. Marsha was kind and cheerful. We had a really nice catch up visit. It was a joy to see her after so many years since graduation.

I feel really badly about the news. She had a good heart and warm personality.

I will keep Marsha and her family in my prayers. Marsha loved her family. My deepest condolences. .

First I would like to pray for Olivia, Daniel, Jane, Mike, and the rest of the family. I'm so sorry for your loss.
Better days will come.
Also I would like to thank God for the eight short years I've known you and been your friend Marsha.
You truly did have a kind and giving heart.

I will miss you dearly.

The first time I met you Marsha, I was simply star struck. I had never met such a beautiful wide eyed doe that was as humbled or as yet travelled as you. You were vacationing in Aruba and California when I thought Cincinnati was far. Your slight smile and sparkling eyes will forever be etched in my heart. I loved the time we spent together and your efforts to stay connected. I will miss you, my heart hurts. Rhonda

I pray for the deepest, most intimate comfort, peace and love that only comes from our Lord as each of us grieve personally the loss of Marsha. I pray we can be there for each other, reach out to one another when we need it, and live out our own lives in loving unity as a memorial and celebration for we have lost far too many friends, too soon, too young. Please be good to yourselves, to each other, forgive, nurture and hold precious the relationships we have. We will miss you Marsha....

My deepest sympathies to Marsha's family.

Having had the good fortune to meet and talk with her this year at our neighborhood Christmas party, I was struck that she was a very gentle and kindhearted person. We all marveled at her deviled eggs and the fact that no one makes them anymore. She commented that she was known for eggs and that she loved making them for people as they were no trouble at all. She talked about her years at Ridgeview with her young neighbor who was currently attending Ridgeview and they shared many positive comments about the teaching staff that they both had in common.

Her love of children was obvious as I would glimpse them together in the neighborhood.

I had hoped to get to know her better this year and will regret not being able to accomplish that.

I am so sorry for your loss, as an unexpected passing leaves so many things unsaid. To lose someone in the young prime of her life who had so much to look forward to, can leave a massive void in your lives.

I will pray that the happy memories fill your hearts as Marsha lives on through you and that as time passes the burden that has come to your family will be lightened.

Blessings,
Sarah
Clearview Ave Neighbor

I will miss you dearly and know in god's arms you are a starto brighten up our heavens.
