Marcia passed away this morning...

Re: Marcia passed away this morning...

My deepest, deepest sympathy to Marcia's family both at home and on Jamaicans.com.

I am deeply hurt and saddened by the news and cannot seem to get my thoughts together to express the pain I feel in my heart.

I am in total shock and feel the deepest guilt for not knowing that she's been sick. [img]/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I am SO, SO sorry.

Thy will, oh Lord
We cannot see
But all is well
That's done by Thee
..............................................

Just wanted to pay my respects to one that was sometimes disliked but always respected.

Marcia...Your in God's Arms Now.

Jackie - what you posted was so true and fitting for a time like this.

Although I don't get the opportunity to post like before, and may have never met many of you face to face - Ja.com will always hold a special place in many of our hearts and memories. It still baffles me how strangers (who are fortunate enough to be able to igle at work - smile) can create and generate a bond that last sometimes a lifetime.

Thanks to people like Marcia who have touched a part of us and impacted it so, that it was made a better place.

That was beautiful.

Re: Marcia passed away this morning...

Even though I am still at a loss for words, I must say Marcia and I communicated via emails on several occasions. Each of her email always encouraged me to remain the same person, no matter what. I remember sending her a particular email that expressed my feelings after I found out that she was ill.

In her reply, she was extremely strong, made me believe that she had passed the worst. Just like most board members, I too got edited by Marcia, but I took it with a grain of salt.

Marcia showed me how to be strong despite what others thought. I didn't get the chance to hug or tell her words of kindness face to face, but she knew I respected and genuinely liked her.

Marcia you were as close to an angel as any human could get, the lord gave you life, and now he wants his angel back. I love you Marcia, and may your soul rest in eternal peace. (((((Marcia)))))

PS> Don't stop raising your yeyebrows.

Re: Marcia passed away this morning...

MsP and Miss Mention - you have both summed up perfectly what has been in my heart. I had not been posting as regularly for the last year and at times felt like that cousin who missed the family reunion when I would see pictures of the wonderful bashments. I believed with all my heart that eventually I would meet many of you in person so I feel deep regret that I did not make the opportunity to meet Marcia on this side of life.

I hope those attending the Negril Bashment will relish this opportunity to meet one another and to share fond memories of Marcia.

Big hugs to the Ja.com family and to Marcia's spirit I say, "Thank you so much for welcoming me into this wonderful family."

Re: Marcia passed away this morning...

(((((MsP)))) well said.

I didn't log on monday because of my horrible schedule and I had an exam to take at school and yesterday when I did, I am really glad I didn't log on monday because I would flunk that exam.

I am not usually saddened by death but this one really hit me, I guess because I have spoken to her off the board and I was really looking forward to meeting her on my next trip to canada
[img]/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] she was a courageous person of unbelievable strength, funny, warm, kind, and a wonderful person. I am still in shock.

Thinking about her over the years, she never ever let on that anything was wrong, she sought happiness in knowing that everyone around her was happy, the board was running right, if it was down, she got the temp board running, she was unselfish *sigh* [img]/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] [img]/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

My condolences once again ((((((davidson family)))))

Re: Marcia passed away this morning...

Marcia I dedicate this to you. In the dark nights in the countrysides of St. Kitts I could hear my grandmother singing this song while lighting the kersone lamps around the house.


I have lived a life of sin in this world I'm living in;
I have done forbidden things I shouldn't do.
I asked a beggar 'long the way if he could tell me where to stay;
Where I could find real happiness and love that's true.

Across the bridge, there's no more sorrow;
Across the bridge, there's no more pain.
The sun will shine across the river,
And you'll never be unhappy again.

Follow the footsteps of the King, 'til you hear the voices ring;
They'll be singing out the glory of the land.
The river Jordan will be near, the sound of trumpets you will hear;
And you'll behold the most precious place ever known to man.

Across the bridge, there's no more sorrow;
Across the bridge, there's no more pain.
The sun will shine across the river,
And you'll never be unhappy again.

Across the bridge, there's no more sorrow;
Across the bridge, there's no more pain.
The sun will shine across the river,
And you'll never be unhappy again.


Till we meet again my dear. Till we meet again. [img]/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Re: Marcia passed away this morning...

I have not been on the board in awhile; I just got back from Vacation and got e-mail from G2 about Marcia passing. I met her once at a bashment in Toronto and she was very warm and friendly, I remember her reaction when she meet me, her reaction was I thought you were a man, I went to get my hair done for you. She was special and although I did not have the chance to talk to her again her passing really affect me.
There are never the right words to express the sadness I feel for such a loss.
My thought and prayers are with the Davidson family as they go through this difficult time.
