Ted and John, we are all deeply sorry for your loss. Rudy and I have been reminiscing about fun times and sweet memories of Marcy. We can remember going to the Forrester Family Reunion and waking up to the smell of Marcy cooking bacon and eggs for about thirty over and open fire pit, cook outs by your pool where Zach learned to swim, dancing at the Fleetwood Mac concert at Star Lake, and the time Zach was trick- or -treating at your house and Rudy lost him in your neighborhood. I guess we never got around to making that cook book we talked about, but I am thankful for all she taught me. Marcy always had a smile for everyone she met. She was a wonderful and caring friend. We are going to miss her, Love, Sandy, Rudy, Josh and Zach.
We will miss you always, Love your big sis. Linda.

Ted and John, My thoughts and prayers are with you both during this difficult time. Marcie was such a special and loving person and always so much fun to be around.
