Marcella was an incredible person who left an indelible mark on this world. Her immersion in, and celebration of, the arts was unparalleled and her encouragement of fellow artists set a standard that should be forever upheld. The world is truly a better place because she was here. Marcella, if you´re reading this, I hope you´re one of the five people I meet in heaven. I could sure use your notes!
