I am shocked by this news Scott & kiddos I am so very sorry for your loss of an Amazing Woman. I worked with her at Long's many years ago...She & I had alot of laughes while she was keeping track of the photo lab up's & downs ....I would vent to her about the craziness of working in the photo lab ...She always made me feel like I mattered to my customers. Gosh I hate to think Marnie is gone :'(

I'm so stunned and saddened by Marnie's death. Just a few weeks ago she was leading the Scout committee and helping our young people get recognized for their achievements. She was such a strength to her family and friends, and we will all miss her -- but especially her dear family.

Marnie you truly are like a sister to me. I love you and your family so much. Thank you for your example of Christlike love and service. Heaven gained an absolute angel and I look forward to the time when we will meet again. The kids and I will be here for your family in all ways possible. Love you my dear friend.

Marnie was one of the lovliest women I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. She had a great laugh, was easy to talk to, and had a huge, loving heart. I will never forget her, and will miss her until I see her again. A friend like Marnie is rare, and my life is better because I knew her. Goodbye my sweet friend. Love you.
