I am so sorry for your loss. When I read this today, I was transported back to October 31,1982 Who concert in Sun Devil Stadium, Lisa, Marc, my brother Michael and me. Drove from Sierra Vista to Tombstone picked up Lisa & Marc then to Phoenix. Marc paid for our tickets and I'll never forget that night. I've always remembered both Lisa and Marc as good decent people whom I had the pleasure of knowing for too short of a period in my life. You will always be in my memories and thoughts.

For Lisa. I´m deeply saddened to discover Marc´s death. He was your compadre through so much, and for me he always brought a smile. I´m smiling as I write this, with memories of sweet times. I can only say my sadness, and wish to give you comfort. I embrace you, dear child of my dear friend.

I just heard about this today as I was doing some banking next door to Kim's clinic in Lacey. I am still in shock. As a general contractor, I did some work on Kim and Marc's house and then built the clinic in Lacey for them. Both projects ended successfully and Kim and Marc were great customers. I extend my sincerest condolences to both of the families for their tragic losses.

I am so heartbroken for all of you. I was Marc´s principal and friend at Sanborn Elementary in Chandler, Arizona. Marc was such a kind, compassionate, and intelligent man. He was soft-spoken and never had a harsh word to say about anyone. He loved his students and worked tirelessly to help them succeed. He was highly skilled in technology and was always generous with his time in helping his co-workers. Marc was so proud of Kim. We shared a love of dogs, and he would often talk about her practice. Their passing has made a huge impact on not only their families and friends, but also on the communities they served. I am deeply saddened by your loss.

It truly was a gift for us to meet and know Kim and Marc for the brief time we were together in Mexico on that fateful day in January.
