Hello Everyone:
It is with breaking hearts that we have to tell you that Marcia passed away this evening, March 29th at about 10:30 PM. She fought a valiant and courageous fight against this terrible disease and beat it at every turn, but in the end, after surviving long beyond the predictions of any and all of her medical team, her body finally just gave out and she could not fight any longer. When the family was called in - Tina was of course already there as she has been all along - at about 3:00 AM on Sunday Morning they were told that she would have about "3 or 4 hours" left to her here. No one - the doctors and nurses and other medical staff - could believe that she held on another incredible almost two more days. They did not understand it and cannot explain it but we know - she was determined to stay here with her family and friends and the wonderful life she was having. She wasn't done yet. But God had another idea... One we don't understand and are struggling to come to terms with - but nevertheless, God's plan.
At her specific request you probably won't be surprised to hear that there will be no funeral service as such.... she did not want a sad occasion and she did not want you to be sad... Sooooooo.... wait for it..... there will be a PARTY!! There will be a "CELEBRATION OF MARCIA'S LIFE" PARTY ON APRIL 25th. Please save the date. We will let you know and post here the time and exact location and other particulars. But as we said.... SAVE THE DATE! We want you there to make this a very special and joyous event.
There will be an obituary in the paper to tell her story however we're not sure when so you can watch for that too.
We are, as we said, heartbroken, but we view her now.... flying high and free and restored and getting some sort of social event organized over there.... we're absolutely sure of it. For the rest of us the long and difficult journey of coming to terms with this unbelievable event has just begun. Please continue your positive thoughts and prayers for Marcia and her heroic family who all fought the good fight right along beside her.
Thanks for everything and God Bless you all.

I am so sad about this. Marcia was a dear childhood friend of mine. She's been in my life for at least 50 years. She was a wonderful person and there is no doubt in my mind that she fought her hardest to the very end. I know she will be missed so much by her entire family. This just breaks my heart and again I'm so sorry for you all.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry for your loss! I know how hard it can be to lose one's mother. Marcia was such a delightful person with a great smile. She was always so eager to help with a "scrapbook" issue, that I can only imagine how great she was with her family and the loss you much all feel. She will be missed but kept in the hearts of those who loved her.
ReplyDeleteA great lady indeed! Marcia was a true friend and I am sure that she was taken from all of us to prepare a way for us to join her someday. She will be there with open arms to take us home. God bless all of her family.
