Buz and Sarah, I am so sorry to hear about Marsha's passing. She was like a mother hen to us here, helping and encouraging us. Always looking at the bright side of everything. There are not words to express how much she means to us. I lost my Dad a number of years ago and can only tell you this is hard. In time things get easier. In the meantime we celebrate Marsha's life and all she meant to us. Keeping you in my prayers.

I am so truly sorry to hear of Marsha's passing. Being new to NC, I did not get to know her well. But, what I did know was that she had an infectious positive spirit. I will always remember that in my heart. Please let me know if I can do anything for you or your daughter.

Praying for you Buz, your daughter Sarah, and everyone who knows and loves Marsha. I love the Marta story and wish I could have known her as well.

Dennis Gurgone, SSA

I met Marsha for the first time on the Marta in Atlanta, GA. I was drawn to her that day, and we were instantly friends. We remained friends since that day. This reflects her character and the way she lived her life. She lived her life in preparation for where she is now. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord, 2 Corinthians 5:8.

Buz and Sarah, I am praying for you. My prayer is that you experience God's peace, which surpasses all understanding. You will see Marsha again.

God saw she was getting tired, and a cure was not to be,So he put his arms around her, and whispered "Come with me",
With tearful eyes we watched her suffer, and fade away, although we loved her dearly, we could not make her stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,hard working hands to rest,
God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best!

Buz, Sarah Praying God comfort you during this time and give you strength to endure.
