To Marsha's loved ones...We are so sorry to hear this tragic news. May God heal your pain and forever cherish the wonderful memories your family shared. With deepest sympathy. Love, Bruce, Kelley, Alex and Evan Cunningham
Graham,
I'm so sorry. I've been thinking of you and praying for you along with your family since in heard this sad news earllier this morning. My sincere condolences to you and your family. Wishing you all strength, love and peaceful hearts.
One of the nicest, kindest people I have ever met. The world was a better place because of her. Her husband and family are cut from the same mold. Don't even know what to say to you Graham, I'm at a loss for words. A major tragedy and loss, and even the old cliche we know she's in a better place doesn't help one iota. RIP in heaven, Marsha.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all.....

Dear Graham, Alison, Dana, Meg, Drew, and all the loving family members who will miss Marsha so much - we were so sorry to hear about your loss and send our love and sympathy to you during this difficult time. Marsha was the 4th grade teacher when Sarah was at GCDS and Drew was in her class, we appreciated how wonderful Marsha was with the children and she really enjoyed being the director of the school plays for the Drama Club, a tough job she did with humor and grace. She will be missed by all her friends at work and at Grace UM Church, may the Lord bless you and comfort you, thinking of you, love and prayers, Kathy, Sarah, and Ray Thomas
Marsha was a wonderful teacher and friend...especially to her students. My grandaughter, Taylor Arrants, was her student at Gainesville Country Day School many years ago. Taylor still remembers Marsha with love and respect and is saddened by her recent death. Besides being her teacher, Marsha, also cared for Taylor during the summer when school was out. Taylor has many fond memories of Marsha and the family.
My son, Steve Arrants, Taylor's father, just spoke at length with Marsha a week ago about past memories and her current occupation of realtor. He has asked to be remembered to the family as one who felt Marsha was a wonderful teacher and and super friend to his daughter, Taylor.
I will always remember Marsha's great smile and warm eyes....such a top notch lady.
Our condolences to the family and we send strength and love. Judy Sheldon
John and Family
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
