Marci- A lot of years have passed since we hung out, but I can remember when we met... a couple 15 year old girls in science, we had more fun talking than learning anything. I still can't believe they let us use the bunsen burner together... an even bigger surprise is we never set the school on fire! After High School I don't know what happened, we just got so busy... I have been looking for you for a couple years now, but that's hard because I was still looking you up by your maiden name. I miss you terribly! My heart is with your family, I know the pain you're feeling, I recently lost my own Mother unexpectedly. Keep her in your heart and she will forever be with you, she was an amazing person and wonderful friend!

It's been a while our SWA days but I will always remember the kindness and friendship she display towards other. I don't remember a harsh word spoken from her and will always cherish her friendship. I will miss you, my friend.

Marci has a heart of gold. I am deeply saddened at the news of the loss of her sweet spirit here upon the earth. My thoughts and prayers are with Pat, Bill, her sweet husband who I never got to meet but who according to her made her very happy and to her darling baby girls who I know she loved dearly as she proudly showed pictures of them to me when I would run into her at the grocery store. Rest in peace sweet Marci and may the lord watch over your family and comfort them at this time.

To Brannon and the girls,
it breaks my heart to know that your hearts are aching,, I am so sorry for the loss of such a beautiful woman, wife and mommy!

I will miss her so much and I am so sorry! We all love you Marci and anyone who knew you were blessed to have you in their lives! If you need any extra help or support I am here for you three!

Dear friends. I am stunned and so heartbroken by your loss. I had only known Marci for a short time. Her daughter Erin and my daughter Ryenne attend Kindergarted together.
My daughter has enjoyed Erin and Ellie's company at birthday parties and playdates, as well as school.
Marci was a wonderful person. So friendly and kind. Always there to help with anything and very welcoming. Althought I had only just become a friend, I feel like I have known her for years. I am so very sorry to the family for your loss. I have such heartache in absorbing this reality. Please know I am here for anything you need, anytime! My number is in Marci's phone.
Deepest Condolences,

My dear sweet Marci! We were co-workers at Southwest Airlines reservations in Salt Lake City. She was one of the very first friends I made when I first started working there. I will always remember Marci for her kindness towards me and for all the countless times she made me laugh. Marci, may I be worthy to see you again one day.

I just can't grasp the fact that we will never see you for your diet coke!!! And that I can't tease you about wanting to steal those adorable babies.
Brannon, Please know that our hearts go out to you and Erin and Ellie! my number is in Marci's phone and if you ever need anything please let me know. Marci was truly a sweet and blessed woman and all that knew her will miss her, I truly hope that she is well and at peace.

I've been thinking about you constantly. So many things remind me of you. I know God had a plan for us to meet and become friends. I was so blessed to share many memories with you both ups and downs. We were so blessed that our Father in Heaven blessed us with a doctor who could help us bring our twins to our families. My boys turned 8 today! As I have thought of you the last few days I cherish the blankets you made for not only my boys, but also my daughter. We blessed all of our children in your precious gifts. They are kept safe to pass on to them and your story will go with them. Words cannot express how much I look up to you. You will always be an example to me of unconditional love. You reflected the Saviors love in all you did and stood for. Your daughters will be constantly reminded of your love and example. There are too many of us that have a story to tell. I plan to write them a letter about how you touched my life. I love you my friend! I look forward to the day we will meet again!
To your family I offer my love and prayers. Thank you for sharing Marci with me.

Marci, it is so hard to internalize the fact that you aren't here with us anymore. You were such a special person--always so full of love and kindness. You immediately befriended me during a trying time in my life and for that I will be forever grateful. Thank you for showing us all what it means to be real, strong, and nonjudgemental. This isn't a goodbye, just 'see you later'. I love you, my dear friend, and I will miss seeing your sweet face.

How do you say good-bye to a friend that you have known almost half your life, you were a wonderful mom Marci, and I know you will continue to watch over your sweet family! Marci had a very sweet and sincere way of complimenting others, I will miss her sweet comments. I will not say good-bye, but see you later! We love you and miss you! Brannon- we will pray for you and your sweet girls always! You are never alone, I am so sorry for your loss!!!

Marci, you may not have known the lives you have influenced for good during your young life on this earth. You will know now, I am sure. You always made it a special pleasure to be in your presence. To say nothing of the example you are, of what a great mother, and wife, a woman should be. Your daughters, your husband and many, many more are missing you so so much! I miss you Marci! I'm sure you are being embraced by many that were waiting for you. Love you, Marci!

Marci,
You have been a great friend to me as we grew up together through our school years. You will be missed truly by your family and friends and will always have a special place in my heart as a dear friend. Thanks for being such a good friend through our Junior High and High school years. You have always included me to be with you and your close circle of friends which meant alot to me and always had time for me as we grew together as good friends in junior high.

My dear sweet friend Marci, I will miss you horribly. There are not words to describe how amazing and wonderful you are. You were the kindest, sweetest, most fun loving, and wonderful people I have ever called my friend. The world is a better place because you were here. I am so happy to know that you are with your dad, but so heartbroken to know you are not here.
I keep trying to remind myself of this quote from Dr. Seuss, "Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened!" But admittedly, I am really struggling with this loss. I love you Marci, always will.
To Brannon and Marci's sweet little "E's", my deepest and most sincere condolances.
To Pat, Bill, Debi, and all the rest of Marci's family, I am so grateful to have known you and Marci. I will love and treasure her forever. There is not a person on this earth who has a negative thing to say about Marci, and that speaks volumes.
All my love,
Amy Short Mulcock

I was one of Marci's YW leaders with Gerrilyn Mason in the 43rd Ward. Marci was so special to me and my family, babysitting my children, and even being there for me with a traumatic experience in my life! She is one of the most selfless, sweetest persons I've ever known. She will be so missed. Love and prayers for her family!

Marci, we miss you, you are such a great friend! It was so much fun getting to go through our first pregnancies together. Love you!
April 8, 2012
The best thing you taught it me is to end every text and Im and phone conversation with, "I love you." It meant so much that you did that, and it means more now. What an honor that your final words to me were, "i love you and I love your daughter." May I just echo those words now. Thank you for being there in the hospital room when "we" (you, Kendalyn and I ) delivered Bentley. All my big moments of the last 18 years, you were with me. You paved the road for my biggest life change, and I will never forget you. (How could I, that baby we delivered always reminds me.)
I will miss you during the big events, and I will miss random IM conversations, and stalking you on Facebook. You are one of a kind, irreplaceable, and now our angel.
To quote my dear friend, "I love you and I love your daughters."
Keep an eye out for Team Holley if you get the chance

I can't help but remember the sweet tribute Marci paid to her father at his funeral in Novemeber. Who would have thought she would be joining him so soon???? Such a shock! Yet,there is a sweetness that comes with knowing she and her dad are together--that they are keeping each company until the rest of their loved ones join the party.....(not too soon we hope!) Our hearts and prayers are with her family. We love you all!

Marci- I was impressed by your dedication to your family. What a caring mother you were! I am honored to have Erin in my kindergarten class this year. I got to meet Erin's awesome mother and father. I remember how hard it was for you to let go of your father. I hope you are with him now. I promise you I will keep an eye out for Erin, even when she is no longer in my class. You were so sensitive to my needs and state of mind. Thank you for being a friend as well as just a 'parent'. I was blessed to get to know you. -Christena Nelson

Marci,
I look across the street and see your house and I can't believe I won't see your smiling face coming out of there anymore. You impacted so many people's lives. You touched each of my children's lives in some way and we will all miss you.
To Brannon and the girls, we hope you know we would do anything to help you.

Oh my Marci, my sister, my friend, words cannot describe how I feel. You will be greatly missed by many, but none more than your amazing husband and precious daughters. They are like granddaughters to me and I will love them with all the love I have to offer. I will make sure they always remember their mom and how much you love them. They were blessed to have you in their lives here on this earth and for eternity. Please make room for all of us because we will be joining you and then be with you FOREVER!
Love you, Caren

Marci, Marci, Marci, words can not express how much you meant to me as a friend! You were always there when I needed you! You were one I always felt comfortable talking to you and you were never judgemental! You have a wonderful family whom we love dearly and will do anything to help. You will be missed but I know you are in a happier place!

I love you so much my friend. You made my world a better place, and I can't imagine my life without you in it. I will make sure your girls know how wonderful you are and how much you adore them. They will never doubt your love for them. What am I going to do without my Marci? The Marci-sized hole in my heart will never be filled. I hope the reunions with your dad and sister were joyful. I know they were so happy to see you, and I know heaven is a much brighter and happier place now. I will miss you every day. Love, Steph
April 8, 2012
Marci- you will never know the impact you had on my life. You were amazingly strong. Much stronger than you gave yourself credit for. You were kind and loving and most of all non-judgemental. Thank you for being my friend and always giving me the shoulder squeeze when we passed in the hall at church. We love and miss you terribly. We will all be here for your sweet girls. They loved and adored you so much. Words can not adequately express the sorrow I feel. Brannon- I can not imagine this trial you are facing. Please let me know if we can help. Love, Aaron, Tasha and Kenley Whitmill
