So sorry for your loss. It was a great pleasure to be on contact w/Marsha via computer. I am so glad we got to talk about our relatives we shared. She reminded me so much of Great Grandma Elizabeth Almond. (feisty and very loving)
So very saddened to hear of Marsha’s passing. I have very found memories of us at Golden Shield School and the sleep overs with Ann and Kristi.
She was a fun and feisty child and sounds like a fun and feisty lady. Rest in peace Marsha.

Our Deepest Sympathy

To the family of Marsha Davis,
I’m very sorry about the loss of your loved one. I wanted to share the scriptural hope that gave me comfort when my mother died. I hope it will help you also. The Bible shows that God did not intend for humans to suffer or grow old and die. (Romans 5:12). It also calls death an enemy. (1 Corinthians 15:26). God has promised to remove death forever. (Isaiah 25:8). And he has set a time when he will resurrect our loved ones onto a cleansed, paradise earth where we can welcome them back. (John 5:28,28; Psalm 37:10,11,29).
