This is sad news. I knew Marcia when we were kids but we were at different schools and I lost touch. I had thought of her often over the years and what a nice surprise when I moved into Village East and found out we were neighbors! Then the diagnosis came and I was so sad, having lost other friends to it, but Marcia was always so pleasant and happy. Such an amazing person!
I'm going to miss her but I am glad I got to reconnect before she was gone.
Condolences to the family. May the memories bring you some comfort!
