Our sympathy to Larry and Marcy's family. Marcy will be missed by everyone that knew her. She was a dear, sweet lady. Marcy always had a smile, a twinkle in her eye and laughter in every conversation. She dearly loved children, which is how we meet each other, at the little league field. At Christmas time, she would remind me of the year that the little elves came to visit her and Roy, with joy and laughter in her voice. May God hold all of you in His loving arms and bring you peace.

We are so sorry for your loss, Larry and the family of Marcy. Your mother was a very dear friend and we spent many happy hours together. I was her one designated visitor at the hospital. Every afternoon we would chat about lots of things. I watched her gain her strength after her recent fall. She really wanted to return home and was doing all she could to get better. She was bright and perky on Monday and we had a lovely visit. Her last words to me were to wish me a good ski trip and that she would see me next time in her home. Little did we know it would be her heavenly home. She loved angels and she truly was an angel to us. Our deepest sympathy.
