Marsha you have a wonderful family that misses you every moment of the day. The last day I visited with you is still fresh in my mind and heart as if it were only yesterday. The pride and love you had for your family was so apparent in the beautiful words that you shared with me. Marsha,sweet, beautiful lady please say hello to my beloved Robert for me. Give each other a hug. Tell him I love him and miss him as your family/friends love and miss you. Love, Lizzie

It's hard to believe it has been a year. Sometimes it feels longer and other times it feels like just yesterday. Your beautiful smile and laughter are so greatly missed at our family gatherings but you are always in our hearts! We love and miss you!

Happy Birthday Aunt Marsha!
We could not let your birthday pass without doing something special, so today Shannon & I took lunch to your friends at GP Direct. They were so wonderful to our family after your accident. It was very nice to be able to thank them and honor you on your special day. They all miss you as much as we do. Sending birthday wishes to you in heaven, We love you!!

When I think of you I see your beautiful smiling face as we said goodbye at Nick's graduation party, little did we know that was one of the last days we had with you. I imagine you have an even brighter smile now knowing we've united with Scott. He is a perfect fit to our family, and we all had a great time getting to know each other. He looks so much like you and his laugh sounds like yours as well. He was a hit with all the little ones for sure!!!! There were many memories shared of you and we have so many more to tell, I am sure we have made a life time connection and it feels as though we've gotten a piece of you back. We all miss you so much and think of you always! I love you!
Your little sister Doozers

Hey Sis,
I haven't wrote yet but look at this often to see who has. It has not gotten any easier for me since that day in May. In fact, sometimes I think it is getting harder. We have all shared your ashes and I can tell its not getting any easier for many of us.
American Idol just started and there a couple really good guy singers that I know you would have loved. It's hard to watch with knowing I can't call you to talk about it all.
Shannie sent me a picture of Scott today. BOY does he look like you. I hope we can someday share our memories of you with him.
I obsessively watch Trauma in the ER so I can see what they did for you at the hospital and maybe understand why they couldn't keep you here. I am still having a hard time with that.
I helped out with Matthew but things didn't go so well and I feel so terribly bad. I know you understand though. And I know you will be close with him.
I miss you more than anyone can imagine and think about you always and still often cry myself to sleep.
I love you sis. I miss you so dearly.

Marsha, I miss you and think about you alot. I had a dream of you the other night, you were singing so deep from your heart that it made me sob. When I woke up I realized the songs you were singing were Dust In the Wind and Mercedes Benz, the same ones they played at your service. I wonder if you're singing in Heaven. I have so many memories of you, You were such a huge part of our childhood and our lives. You'll always be my Aunt Marsha with the hot temper and the huge smile=-). I love you so much!

Hi Marsh,
I sure am missing you, sister of my heart. Oh how I wish I could see your smile and share just one more laugh.
Shannon, it makes my soul smile when I sign in and see the latest messages you have left for your Mom or to share something with everyone that loves her. Somehow it makes the ache a little easier to deal with; it almost seems as though she is still here, has just stepped out for awhile to take care of some business. You are a good girl, Shannon, I know your Mom is proud of you.

I was devastated by the news of your passing. I was flying to Omaha the following week and had planned to visit with you while I was there. I never in a million years would have expected the visit to turn out as it did. I have so many happy memories of our time together. It has been hard for me to accept that I will never see your smiling face and hear your contagious laughter on this earth again. My dear friend and cousin, you have joined Lil Gram and many other loved ones in heaven. I take solice in knowing that you are not alone. Don't worry about your family, they will take care of each other as they always have. You were a lucky person to have such fantastic people in your life. I'll see you when I get there cuz!!

Marsha was my cousin, she was my best friend. We were together thru thick and thin. Our grandmother even referred to us as "The Bobsey Twins"! It's so hard to believe this is how it ends...Please save me a spot in heaven...My cousin & my best friend.

To the family,
My son Alex is friends with Amber, I didn't know Marsha at all, but she seem to be well loved from the entries here. My heart literally aches and goes out to the whole family and mostly the kids and grandkids. For such a burden to bear at a young age is one of the longest hardest roads you will ever have to walk. I will always have you in my heart and prayers and if anything at all is needed please don't be shy about asking for help that is why we have friends and family. God Bless you all during this difficult time in your lives. Lorene Fangman

I wish this was a nightmare we could all wake up from. I still can't grasp the fact that you are gone. I am so thankful for the memories we have from saturday, you were so happy and excited. I will keep that picture of your beautiful smile in my heart forever. I hope you know how proud we are of the strong, beautiful woman you were. I am proud that so many others saw that in you also. I am proud to call you my aunt and I will love you and miss you always!

Marsha, who could have known when a couple of 13 year old girls met so long ago it was the beginning of a bond that would last a lifetime? Over the past 37 years I can't count the number of times we talked until the sun came up, laughed so hard at our own silliness we could barely breathe and cried over life's bumps until there were no tears left. I feel truly blessed to have had you in my life, my friend. You are in my deepest heart and I miss you beyond measure.
Mr. and Mrs. Erwin, Shannon, Matt and Amber, there are no words to express the depth of the sorrow I feel for your family during this terrible time. You are all in my most heartfelt prayers.
Love, Andrea

Marsha was my "bestest friend". We used to jump the fence to go to one another's houses. We had fun together, we fought, made up, met our first boyfriends together, played about every game known to man (pre-electronic era), danced to "our music" giggled and carried on until Betty would yell at us to "cut the comics". Our greatest fun was the haunted house in the basement. We even scared the **** out of the big boys in the neighborhood, yes Bobby too (we were sorry about the car Bobby). Karen was the cool big sister, Kim did her own thing but Johnny, we could never get rid of him. You all were fun. I am sorry I didnt get to know Marsha's children. Sounds like she did a good job with you all. I am sad she and I lost touch in our adult lives. I have been thinking about her a lot in the last couple of weeks, guess it was a premonition. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Take care, Beverly Meyers Fischer

You are all in my thoughts and prayers. I am so deeply saddened to hear of your loss. I remember the day I met Marsha, I was 3 or 4 years old and Kim was doing summersaults over her stomach. We had just moved to the neighborhood, Kim and Marsha were the first friends I met. Marsha had such a big smile and a fun loving personality. I remember one time 7 of us went up on stage to sing kareoke and no one wanted the microphone, Marsha took the microphone and sang like a pro. She could always make things fun. I know she has been through a lot of hard times as everyone does but that is just a testament to her unbreakable spirit. We will miss her! Love you guys!

Marsha,
You were so amazing! The most unique woman ever, so caring, and loving.
I can't believe that you're gone.
Why you'd be taken from us, I don't know. But I know you're watching, listening, and protecting everyone you love.
I can't stop asking: Why YOU? Why NOW?
I don't want to believe this...
I love you!

One great thing I learned from Marsha before she died was how to treat people like they mattered the most and that life is what you make of it. She was such a charismatic and compassionate person and an awesome mother. She will be greatly missed.

I'm so sorry. This whole thing just seems unreal. My heart goes out to you, Matt, Amber, Shannon. The last thing I said to your mom was "thank you for cutting my hair", I know it sounds cheesy, but it's all I can think about lately. I love you all, and we will pull through this, together. If any of you need ANYTHING, give me a call.

My heart hurts for all of you & I feel such sorrow. I've known Marsha since she was a teenager & every single time I was ever around her she made me laugh. Her smile was one of the most beautiful I've ever seen. She will be missed so very much. My deepest condolences, God Bless you all.

Oh Marsha our last visit on Sunday will forever be imprinted on my heart. We talked about grandbabies and how important they were to us. The unbelievable happiness they brought to our lives. Your love for them and your children was so apparent. You talked of the pride you had in your children and their accomplishments. They had a beautiful Grandmother and Mother both inside and out. Marsha, you inspired me with your strength to conquer life's most turbulent waters. I know you made your family so proud. I will miss your most beautiful face and smile at our family gatherings. God Bless you. No words can ever express my sincere condolences to you, her beloved family during this most difficult time. Love Lizzie
