My heartfelt condolences and sympathies to Alexa, Brett, Mr. and Mrs. Fatum, family and friends. Marci and I were friends in high school. We had so many good times together. We used to pass notes back and forth in class about our hopes and dreams, our weekends and yes, "boys." :-) In fact, I found one of those notes a couple of weeks ago going through some things. I went to my first concert in Toronto with Marci. We lost touch over the years, and were reconnected through Facebook. This is one of those times that I am grateful for Facebook. We met for dinner at Milestones in Kitchener a couple of years ago and had a wonderful visit. It was like all those years fell away and we just picked up where we left off--laughing, sharing stories about our children and reminiscing about the past and talking about our plans for the future. Marci was planning a trip to come visit me in Kingston and then Covid hit. The last text I had with Marci was about planning a phone call. Regretfully, that call never took place. I wish I had could have been there for her more than at the end of a text. I will miss her posts about her children, her great food, her wishing everyone a beautiful day, and her efforts to save the elephants. Well Marci, we didn't get that visit in, but some day we will meet again in the heavens and I know you will greet me with open arms. Give my brother Steve a big hug. Godspeed my friend. Luv "Mich".
