I am so sorry to see this. Marsha was the nicest, funniest and sweetest lady to work with. There were so many times at CVS she handled situations with so much grace and calmness when no one else could. Then after the dust cleared we would look at each other with "big eyes" and laugh. Everyone loved Marsha. All of the girls at CVS had many nights of laughter and fun together. I truly miss those good times.
Bob, Don and Carly I am so very sorry for your loss.

Marsha Carstensen was one of my favorite people in the whole world. Every single time that I think of her, a smile comes to my face and laughter to my heart. Bob, Doni, and Carly, you and your families will be in my thoughts and my prayers. We were all so BLESSED to have HER in our lives!!! I will remember her at Brooks, Revco, CVS, all the 512 Creek Road parties, our "girls night" outings with Cecile, Cindy, Liz, Elaine, Becky, Jan, Linda, et all, the love she had for her animals, and, of course, the love she had for her family. I will remember her forever!!!

Marsha was more than a friend to me, she was like a very close sister. We shared so much over the years which included a lot of good times and laughter and many memories. She will be missed.
