When someone we love passes away, we ache but we go on. Our dear departed would want us to heal after they are gone. Grief is a normal way to mend anguish and pain in our hearts. We need time to remember and time to mourn before the recovery starts. As we go through this period of sorrow let's draw together to recuperate as we find a brighter tomorrow. R.I.P. cuz.

We must start by saying that the obituary is fantastic and her photograph is absolutely beautiful! It is exactly how Val remembers her from when they were younger. Marsha will now be eternally young, watching down on her children and loved ones with her huge compassionate heart as they grow and experience all the beauty in life that is offered. Now whenever we see a shooting star in the night, a rainbow in the sky, and beautiful clouds of colorful hues, we will remember her and know she is happily at peace with Joe playing drums in the sky. They always say the good die young, but it still does not make it any easier for us here that will miss her beyond comprehension. We do believe that there is a greater plan for all of us that we are unaware of in this mysterious yet absolutely beautiful world. Marsha now holds the keys. Until we meet again, I will forever envision your infectious smile in my dreams. Love you to the moon and back, and however far I must go to walk by your side again.
