Memories and Condolences
for Marci Gilchrist
June 2, 2016
Dear Brian, Thomas, and Patrick.
My thoughts and prayers will be with you tonight. I was so very sorry and shocked to hear of Marci's death. She was such a helpful and important parent at King School. It was a pleasure to move into your neighborhood and find that she was President of the Homeowners Association. Once again, she did a wonderful job.
Marci will be sorely missed, and I hope that the memories that you are hearing and reading about provide at least a small comfort to you. My thoughts are with you.

To Marci's family,
I am sorry to hear about Marci's passing. I had the privilege to ring hand bells with her in Bay View. She had a beautiful smile. Her dedication to her music, being prepare & ready to ring was a testament to her. She was a pleasure to have a conversation with when we weren't rehearsing. I didn't know she was sick, so her loss was a shock. We will miss her at our Play-N-Well rehearsals and in Bay View this summer. May your memories of her be in your hearts for ever. She was a special lady.

Dear Brian, Thomas and Patrick..........we are still in shock and so very, very sorry for your loss. What an incredibly beautiful woman Marci is! In all my years at FUMC, she was a constant force of friendship and love, always smiling and always there. She was a role model to everyone, and a fabulous musician. She always made me and my family feel so accepted, loved and welcome. I am so glad Kristianna had the great opportunity growing in the church to know her, love her and receive Marci's love as a friend and Mother figure. We will always cherish our memories of her. May you all gain great strength from your beautiful memories of your wife and the mother or her great sons. God bless you all...love The Bell's (Chester, Janet, Jamey and Kristianna)

Remembering an exceptional person. Marci was a beautiful soul full of compassion and grace. I'm so thankful for the years I knew her at FUMC. She led the youth Parent Council. Always generous with her time and skills, she blessed our lives.

My heartfelt condolences on the loss of such a wonderful woman. While I only had the privilege of meeting her several times, each time I was impressed by her candor, unassuming nature and the warmth that she radiated. The love and admiration she had for her family was immediately evident. May that love sustain you during this extremely sad time. My thoughts are with you all.

Our thoughts are with Brian and his boys Thomas and Patrick. Marci was a loving wife and mother and spread her joy and enthusiasm to all who knew her. She had a talent for ringing bells, Julie and I enjoyed her last concert in Bay View with Brian. We saw her those times in Ann Arbor when we traveled downstate. It was a privilege to know her. Thank you Marci, you have touched many lives and leave fond memories for us to carry with us. May Brian and their boys carry on and live productive lives thanks to her presence and influence.
