isnt it a silly thing that when someones gone you suddenly realize you forgot to ask them and talk to them about a bunch of things that only they could have understood?

I was trying to get in to contact with Marcia. It is now May of 2011. A dear old friend from college and colleague in the arts (Leap). I have moved to Ontario and lost touch with her. I was trying to find her on facebook and came accross this news. I am shocked and deeply saddened by this news. She was a great woman with beautiful energy to offer the world. A superb artist always endeavouring new achievements. I will love her always. my deepest sympathies to her family and loved ones. And to Lucas – you were always so bright and so much fun to be around, a true legacy of your mother, may you carry on her fun loving spirit.

Marcia and I hung out together when we shared classes at Kwantlen.
We did a lot of laughing while discussing art and life. I remember Lucas and how much she loved him. I had reconnected with her through Facebook and I was looking forward to seeing her last summer. She said she wanted to come over…when I didn’t hear from her, I thought her life got busy and I had no idea, until now.
I sent her a birthday greeting on FB, but when I looked at her profile, I realized your loss and I’m so sorry.
My condolences to you all. I hope she never suffered. I will always smile while looking up at the twinkling stars, thinking of her eyes and sparkling smile. She was special and I’m very fortunate to have shared a bit of earth-time with her.

Dear Marcia,
I am so sad that this is the occasion that brings me to reach out to you. We grew up together in Chilliwack, both with parents that Immigrated from Holland. We had many things in common yet,as the years went by, we lost touch. I wish I could have seen how happy you were the past 4 years, but it is comforting to know, that you had such wonderful people sharing those years with you. I’m not surprised that you touched so many other lives with your special quirky qualities,laughter, creativity and sensitivity. I will miss you dearly and my deepest sympathy goes out to Lucas, Nigel, and the entire Sprangers Family.
Love, Cori Plante

My cherished friend Marcia…you’ve been a part of my life for so long, I am brokenhearted at the thought of losing you. We have held each others hands through life’s joys and sorrows, no matter the distance in miles between us. From the moment we met your smile and infectious laughter made their way into my heart. Your sweetness, generosity, and ability to see beauty in the simplest of things made me love you from the moment we met. Your friendship has been one of my life’s greatest gifts, and I will forever treasure the memories we share…may we meet again in the land of fairies and pixie dust.

My heart goes out to you Lucas, Nigel, and to Marcia’s parents, brothers, and sisters.

My condolences to the family of Marcia. She was a big help and friend to me at the Cridge, It is such a tragedy for someone so vibrant and compassionate should go so young. My deepest prayers go out to you.

Dear Michelle & Family,

At a time like this, we are at a loss for words to express our condolence to someone who has lost a loved one.
How to say it to bring comfort?
How to say that we care?
How to say that we understand?

Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this most difficult time.

Love the Faccio’s

I was greatly shocked and saddened to hear that Marcia had passed away.
I am a member of the Gypsy Rovers Trio who regularly entertain at the Cridge Centre, where Marcia has been the entertainment coordinator. Marcia was always very welcoming and attentive to our needs and only two weeks ago was telling us that she was leaving the Cridge Centre to have a break. During the break she said that she was planning a trip to the Queen Charlotte Islands with Nigel, whom I have known for many years as we were/are both educators.
My sincere condolences go out to Nigel and the family. I am sure that the other members of the Gypsies feel just as shocked and devastated as I do.
Brian
