I met Marcia through Cathy and Marleah at Neal's Sewing Retreats. Her insight to quilting was awesome and I will always remember how much quilting knowledge she had. She loved sewing and it showed. She loved her family and it showed. May her memories bring ALL of you peace and comfort each and every day as you move forward. I will miss her dearly. Lovingly~Ginger Kebler

There's a new angel in heaven watching over all of us. Mike and family, I am keeping you in my prayers. Remembering such wonderful times spent in her company--such a great lady with many talents. You will be missed by the quilting world. I guess the Lord needed someone to work on quilts. Sew a fine quilt block dear lady.
