Hi there Ladybug! It has been a minute since my last visit and for that I am sorry, but I talk to you every night at sunset along with Todd. You were, are, and will always be LOVE, and well LOVED and fondly remembered. Thank you for bringing back all the color to Daddy’s life and all the love and warmth you brought to our family. It’s almost Christmas and that’s the day I most associate with you and remember you, your smile, your infectious laugh, and what a true Lady you were. Those are rare and special and you were the personification of both those things. While my heart still grows heavy because it’s not fair that you’re not physically here and in the greatest shape of your life, I’m content knowing there is no more pain. We are all doing fine - could always be better but you must play the hand you’re dealt. Daddy is doing well, he misses you most. He didn’t truly come alive until you happened, when you happened to all of us. You helped build and shape each of us in our own ways, and our hearts will never be the same in the wake of your absence. You, beloved ARE Christmas to me. You always will be, beloved.

Hello beautiful one...Even though I haven't written in your book lately sure as heck doesn't mean I've forgot you. That will NEVER happen. Been very busy getting house ready and putting it on the market as well as the RV, both of which we had great plans for but sadly just didn't work out. I just sent Todd a 6 year message and wanted to touch base with you also. I have no idea what goes on up there but if y'all are in contact, keep him straight, ha-ha. Take care my sweet,

Hi my sweet Beautifuluv...On this date five years ago the angels came and rescued you from this world and the unfair life of Alzheimer and the confusion and unknowing strangeness you had to endure. Your illness was so unfair to destroy such a beautiful, sweet and caring person you had always been. It was pure hell to have to helpless watch you suffer and die a day at a time but you did it with the class you had always shown all your life. I can only believe and trust you are now happy and whole in heaven as your home now. I still love you and miss you as much as ever and look forward to the day we will be together again. I pray you are well and happy as you so much deserve...Hon
July 2, 2018
Happy Birthday in heaven, Sweet Marcia. The only thing that helps is knowing you are whole again and not suffering. Your life was cut way short.
My wish is that you are resting easy. Fly high and continue to watch over Dad.
You are never forgotten!
Love, Shay

Good morning sweetheart. Three years ago today at 1:23am the angels came and took you home from the terrible life of frustration and turmoil Alzheimer's had imprisoned you. Unlike many I don't claim to understand the afterlife but if anyone ever made it there I know it is you. I hope you have a clear mind now and are resting in peace like you so deserve. I hope to see you again some day.....Hon

Good Morning sweetheart. Twenty two months ago today after 13 years of Alzheimer's eventually destroying not only your mind but your body also, you finally gave up the fight and went home. You were very brave and gallant throughout the ordeal and it was so devastating to have to watch all you went through but at least now we know you are well and happy again. You are still missed and loved and will never be forgotten...Hon

Good morning, just wanting to let you know what Justin & Jackon ask Kendall yesterday day. They. ask Kendall if you could call heaven. She asked who do you to speak to in heaven? Justin said Marcia. She asked what do you want to tell her? Justin said that I love you and send her flowers. We all love and miss you everyday. Debbie

Hi my sweet beautifluv...Twenty months ago you left us so you could again have peace, a clear mind and healed body. So glad you now have that but the hole left in our hearts is still here.

Hi sweetheart...I made a whirlwind trip to L A Calif. this past weekend in an effort to promote our book with movie and TV producers. Getting anyone interested is probably like winning the lottery but at least I tried. I just want the book to be successful as a tribute to what you had to go through and the dignity you displayed throughout it all. Rest well now my beautiful. It's been 17 months since you left us but you're still loved and missed the same as from the first. I love you...Hon

Thank you for your laugh and your smile
You gave my life so much meaning
That love of ours was a wondrous love divine
A love so special meant to be just yours and mine
There were some valleys we had to walk through
But up on the hilltop what a magnificent view
Thank you for all you were to and for me...I miss you and love you...Hon

Sure wish you were still here to plan and decide what we'd do in another year but I know that can't be and I know you're in a better place than here and you now have a clear mind and body. But I still miss you and feel the emptiness of you being gone. I love you my sweet one and hope everything is going well for you just as I have to believe it is.......Hon

Those we love remain with us
for love itself lives on
Cherished memories never fade
because one loved is gone
Those we love can never be
more than a thought apart
For as long as there is a memory
they live on in our heart.
A book in tribute to your memory is in the process of being published and will be in bookstores soon my sweet.

July 2, 1951 – October 4, 2013
If love could have saved you,
you would have lived forever
Little did I know that morning,
God would call your name,
In life I loved you dearly,
in death I do the same.
It broke my heart to lose you,
but you did not go alone,
for part of me went with you,
the day God called you home.
You left me beautiful memories,
Your love is still my guide,
and though I cannot see you,
you're always at my side.
Our family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same,
but as God calls us one by one,
the chain will link again.

It was only a year ago that you flew away, and it has been completely surreal. I wish you peace and send you much love wherever it may find you, and always my deepest gratitude for all the gifts you brought into our lives - especially my beloved Dad. I'll look for you in every sunset, Ladybug.

The moment that you died
my heart was torn in two,
one side filled with heartache,
the other died with you.
I often lie awake at night,
when the world is fast asleep,
and take a walk down memory lane,
with tears upon my cheeks.
Remembering you is easy,
I do it everyday,
but missing you is heartache
that never goes away.....Hon

August 4th...TEN months you've been gone and it still seems unreal and so unfair! I often look at pictures and try to remember the good times but then reality sets in and all we had to go through during the 13 years makes it so hard to remember the good ones. But now knowing you are well and happy makes it better. I love you and still miss you every day!!!......Hon

Good morning sweetheart...Today makes eight months since you went to your new home in heaven and you are still missed here as much as ever. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you and the beautiful life we had together. You really spoiled me and I know I'll never find another that can come close to measuring up to you and really I don't want to. Ironically today is also the last session of the Griefshare program I've attended and although it has helped some I still have a hard time understanding why you had this terrible disease and had to leave me so young. Take care sweetheart...I love you BUNCHES!!!

Five months ago today,
the angels came and took you away,
I go to your resting place every day,
and sometimes feel the need to stay,
but in spite of our love I am painfully aware,
you are gone and no longer still there,
our memories still live in my heart,
and my love for you will never part.

Happy Valentine my sweet,
If Roses grow in Heaven,
Lord please pick a bunch for me
Place them in my sweetheart's arms
And tell her they're from me
Tell her I love her and miss her
And when she turns to smile
Place a kiss upon her cheek
And hold her for awhile
I love you...

Good morning beautiful,
Four months ago this morning the angels came and took you home. It tore my heart out to see you go but I couldn't selfishly want you to stay in the condition you were in. I had spent a lot of time getting ready for that time and I thought I was prepared to face it but I never realized how much difference there was in being prepared and being ready to face having to let you go. Being without you has left a void in my life and the only solstice I can get is knowing you are now well, have a clear mind and are happy once again. When my time comes I hope we will be reunited and continue on with the love and dedication we had here on earth before Alzheimer's took it away.
Rest in peace, my sweet love.

Hi sweetheart,
Just needed to check in and say "I love you...BUNCHES"! Kinda having a rough day dealing with some stuff that shouldn't even exist, but it does. Hope you're not aware of what goes on down here. I hope you are doing great as we have been promised and are happy and well. Just felt a need to say "Hi" and "I LOVE YOU".

Hi sweetheart...Your granite memorial bench was installed yesterday and turned out beautiful. A beautiful and elegant memorial for a beautiful and elegant lady, but nothing could be made that would even compare to the beauty of you...both inside and out.

On the way to get the mail yesterday I saw a golden eagle flying over the lake behind us, doing graceful acrobatics and seemingly just having fun. 14' wing span, swooping around long enough for me to take notice and then flew west across the water and up into the mountains.
Just because it could.
I felt a deep sense of peace and imagined you, driving that eagle around checking in. I wish you much love and will always keep my eyes open for signs and reminders.
Hon
January 4, 2014
The angels came for you 3 months ago today and sometimes it seems like it's been forever, then again it seems like only yesterday. You're missed every minute of every day sweetheart.
Those we love remain with us
For love itself lives on,
And cherished memories never fade
Because a loved one is gone,
Those we love can never be
More than a thought apart,
For as long as there is memory,
You'll live on in our hearts.
I love you sweetheart...BUNCHES!!!

Hi my sweet...We had good weather on our cruise, Debbie and Sharon enjoyed themselves and all that was missing was not having you with us. The little Christmas tree on your resting place is still burning bright. While we were gone someone put a pretty poinsettia on the marker and we appreciate that. I'll be back by and see you tomorrow.
Love you and miss you...bunches!!!

Hi sweetheart...Debbie, Sharon and I are leaving for a cruise tomorrow morning so I won't be able to monitor your book for a little over a week. Just thought it'd be good for us to get away for a few days in appreciation for all they did for us the last several years. Sure wish you were here to go with us. Got you a little Christmas tree on the marker of your resting place. This picture doesn't do it justice but it's right in the middle of the crosses. I love you and miss you more than words can describe. See you again on the 23rd.

Two months ago today you left us to go home. Although I know you are better off and now have a clear mind and healed body, when you left my heart went with you.

I miss that sweet smile and tender touch so much and I love you more than there are words to describe. Rest in peace my sweet love...you deserve the best!!!

Hello again my sweet one...Today is a day for giving thanks and I give a great big THANK YOU to you...for giving me the best years of my life, for all the love and tenderness you shared with me and my children. You certainly made a lasting impression on each of them and they all loved you like you were their own mother. You imparted so much love but you also taught them so much by example. We all miss you terribly and love you more than there are words to express.
God bless you!!! I love you...BUNCHES!

It is completely wrong that you aren't here everyday, let alone today. Between you and Todd this has been a really difficult year and I miss you terribly.

Hi angel...I was at the cemetery around mid-day to check and make sure all the rain hadn't washed any of the topsoil away. I went back by just before dark and you had had visitor(s). There was a bouquet of cut flowers with a yellow paper wrapped around them and a small potted arrangement on the marker. Have no idea who came by but glad someone did.

I have for several years missed spending Thanksgiving's Day with you and D D. I am still missing seeing you, but I know in my heart that you are well and happy. Always missing you. Wish I could pull that "ponytail" again. Your memories are as beautiful as you always were.
I love you. Goger

Hi sweetheart...I had our wedding bands interlocked on a gold chain that I will be wearing around my neck. You'll be right next to my heart just like you were when you were here. It is a beautiful necklace just like you! I've also been working on our grave lots and have some new grass coming up. I still really miss you my sweet and it just ain't getting any better. I love you so much.

Sorry you are hurting so. May time and faith ease the pain of your loss. Marcia is with God now. She is joyful and needs no praise or possessions of this earth. Something we all hope to achieve some day.

I watched the video again of you smiling about 10 times in a row and it always makes me smile too. Be at peace, sweetheart.

Hi sweetheart...
Remembering you is easy,
I do it every day
But there's an ache within my heart
Cause I'm missing you today...
This is my first birthday
That you've not been here to share,
But maybe we'll have many more
When my time comes to be there.
I love you...and miss you...BUNCHES!!!

It is still so hard to be here without you, I miss you more than words can express. My days that I would be next to you, now I not sure what to do. I am so glad we made the wonderful memories through the good,the bad and the ugly. You could always brighten any room. Now on my way home I go by your resting place where I see your bright crosses that remind me of your beautiful smile. I love you!

I knew the day would come when u wouldn't need me to care for u any longer or hold ur hand or make sure u were comfortable. I can't help but sometimes have a selfish moment and wish u were still here. On my off days I'd always telephone Mr Denver or Shay and check on u , and ask how u doing n how your day went, so on this off day I say " I miss you".

Missing you badly today sweetheart!!!
God saw you getting tired
and a cure was not to be.
So he put his arms around you,
and whispered "Come to Me".
With tearful eyes we watched you,
we watched you fade away.
Although we loved you dearly,
we could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
sweet working hands now rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best.
Love you...BUNCHES!!!
