I remember Marcia from Kensington-Johnson Elementary School. She was an extraordinary person then and I moved to see what an extraordinary life she led. My love and condolences to her family.

My deepest sympathy to her family, friends and colleagues. She will truly be missed. She made sure I kept my spirits up through my illness and recovery! She had big plans for me unfortunately the universe had other ideas. I will miss our late night check ins. She will forever live in my heart. Now, we will have to figure out how to carry on where she left off! Big shoes to fill, but we will fill them together

I will sorely miss seeing Dr. Tanur or "Dr. T" every Monday as I was a patient of hers for the past year. She was the most caring and compassionate doctor I've ever met; very invested in her patients. Her passing is sudden, shocking & truly a loss. I wish nothing but peace & healing for her family & loved ones.
