Marcia, I will miss you tremendously. The world has lost a beautiful soul. Driving is not the same because I can’t tell Siri to call you anymore. You have been a great friend since the day we met, even though it was only once. But we clicked and remained friends since that day. You have helped me thru sad times, cheering me up, calming me down when I wanted to rip someone’s head off, telling me if you had enough for bail for me lolol, and sharing in my life’s journey for the last 12 years. You supported me at every Team Clem Scale the Strat, I climbed for you every year too, you helped me to get to the top every time. I love you my dearest friend. Breathe easy and rest easy now. I know I will see more hawks and know it will be you stopping by to say hi. Note: When I called you I would always see a hawk sitting on a lightpost so I know you will show up. Love you????????
You will be missed, RIP
My heart goes out to all of Marcia’s family. She has a special place in each and every one of our hearts. I’m so grateful for the times Marcia, Lisa, and I had together during those few summers. May all of you have as wonderful memories as I do, of such a caring person.
