Marcie was the backbone of the most caring and loving family. She made sure everyone was treated fairly and welcomed in her family. I will miss our talks and checking in with each other. We had an unspoken love but we made sure each of us knew we truly cared about one another and I knew she cared about my children as her own. She will be greatly missed.
