I remember your laugh and kind words/treatment of anyone in school. I've thought you over the years and how unfair life seems to be. I have a lot of fond memories but two always stand out. The health class we were in sophomore year that had no official real assigned teacher and half the time it was just the class being led by you creating a ruckus err memories :)... I also remember how our classmates responded after the accident which was the real testament to your character. Hope you are at peace!

To the Salzer family,
I send my condolences, thoughts, and prayers. Marc was an amazing person, and I was glad to have been a classmate of his. I will never forget Halloween in eighth grade when he surprised us all with his winning "Frankenstein on Stilts" costume. Thank you for all you did to make school a great experience, Marc. All your classmates truly appreciated your sense of humor and zest for life.

Let us just share a simple prayer:
O Lord may the mercies and love Thou show us be continued each day, that we may have the strength and courage to acknowledge that Marc is now with The Lord... walking the golden streets, chattering with those who have gone before.... and free to explore all the wonders of heaven.

Salzer Family,
I'm so sorry to hear of Marc's passing. I think of him every time I take my students out to the playground at Red Mill. I always admired how kind he was to my mom's students with special needs. His good character and sense of mischief were equally strong. You're all in my thoughts and prayers. Please give Todd a hug for me and tell him I am thinking of him and miss him.

Marilyn, Tom and Family. This prayer/signing always meant alot to me. How sorry I am for your loss. Know that you all are in my thoughts and prayers. An 80 Yr. Old Father of 4 sons in Cohoes.
If we could bring you back again,
For one more hour or day,
We'd express all our unspoken love;
We'd have countless things to say.
If we could bring you back again,
We'd say we treasured you,
And that your presence in our lives
Meant more than we ever knew.
If we could bring you back again,
To tell you what we should,
You'd know how much we miss you now,
And if we could, we would.

SAFELY HOME
I am home in Heaven, dear ones;
Oh so happy and so bright!
There is perfect joy and beauty
In this everlasting light.
All the pain and grief is over,
Every restless tossing passed;
I am now at peace forever,
Safely home in Heaven at last.
Did you wonder I so calmly
Trod the valley of the shade?
Oh, but Jesus' love illumined
Every dark and fearful glade.
And He came Himself to meet me
In that way so hard to tread;
And with Jesus' arm to lean on,
Could I have one doubt or dread?
Then you must not grieve so sorely,
For I love you dearly still,
Try to look beyond earth's shadows,
Pray to trust our Father's will.
There is work still waiting for you,
So you must not idly stand;
Do it now, while life remains,
You shall rest in Jesus' land.
When that work is all completed,
He will gently call you Home;
Oh, the rapture of that meeting,
Oh, the joy to see you come!

My deepest condolences, and prayers extended to all of Marc's family. I have witnessed all of you sacrifice a "normal" life in order to assist in Marc's recovery.
You have all earned your wings.
Marc may you now "ride" with the angels, my friend.
After almost thirteen years of being your nurse and protector, I felt a very special bond.
I have and will always, hold you in my heart.
Love Always, Michelle
