Dear Brad, Lynn and Jann:

I am glad I had the opportunity to meet your mother. I always enjoyed seeing her at the Stratford when my dad, Earl, was there. I am truly sorry for your loss. May our Lord give you peace during this dark hour of your lives.

Marlyce introduced herself to me my first day on the job at Mervyn's when I was only 16. A wonderful, kind person who always had a smile and a kind word or two. She was loved by all...

My family would like to share with you all our love and prayers. My image of your beautiful mother was in my teenage youth, She had so much style and it carried over in her children, who are some of my favorite people to this day! May all the lives you touched be thankful to have known you and your family.

Marlyce was a wonderful person and will be missed my many. I worked with her for many years at Mervyns and always enjoyed seeing her at our "Mervyns employee dinners" after we retired.
