I'm sadden by the death of Marcia. When I first started working at the library in 2000, Marcia made me feel very welcome.

Marcia and I were colleagues who worked at different libraries. We would see each other at meetings and conferences. She helped me a great deal when my sister was diagnosed with breast cancer. She inspired my sister and I to be positive and fight the good fight through the ordeal. I will miss you Marcia. May choirs of angels sing thee to thy rest. My sympathies to the family.

I was so sad to hear of Marcia's passing. We became friends in the library, and also because we each had cancer. I'm truly sorry for your loss, what a sweet woman...

Each and every time I would see Marcia, she would give me a friendly, "Hello, Kathy." I was always impressed that she remembered my name with so many library patrons. Her smile made me feel at home in "her" library and remembering my name made me feel like I belonged there as well. I shall miss that and her positive presence when I visit the library.
