I feel so blessed to have known Marcia even for such a short time. She was a classy, fun and beautiful lady. I loved having dinner with her and Jay. RIP

Marcia is at peace... she will be missed by many. Grief can be so hard but as the days pass we can all take comfort in the many wonderful memories we have shared with your family--fun and laughter at the shore, weekend visits with family. Even trying to cheer on the Eagles while being loyal Steelers fans.
Most of all Jay and Marcia you raised an amazing son who we love and treasure every day for the love and happiness he brings to Amy and our entire family. Paul and Marty Franklin

Marcia will be deeply missed. We´ll always remember her in the dining room, where we shared so many dinners and conversations together. She brought a touch of grace and sparkle to every evening - from her beautiful outfits and heart diamond necklace to the gentle jingle of her gold bangle bracelets. But most of all, it was her warmth, kindness, and class that made her so special to all of us.

Our love and heartfelt condolences to Jay and the family.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of God, family and friends. Please find comfort in the words found at Isaiah 61:1,2.
