I miss you, Twin.  When Lloyd says something funny or when we're planning something awesome for my graduation party, I want to include you... and you're not here.  IT TOTALLY SUCKS.  We didn't see each other often - I was busy, you were busy - but we planned future things all the time...and now the future is heaven.  And only God knows when we'll see each other again.  We WILL, and I cling to that glorious promise!  But meanwhile...a piece of my heart is missing in the shape of you, Mars.  Miss you, girlfrien'.

Marcie, my friend, my sister, my wifey,I am going to miss you so much!!We have had some of the best times together you always made me laugh even when I didn’t want to. Every event we went to weather it was a holiday party or funeral you always lit up the room always so much fun when you were there. Life is not going to be the same without you in it.    Thank you for being one of the best parts of my life. We will see each other again some day. I love you so much!!

Spring break. From Lansing MI (GLBC) to Daytona Beach Florida. Everything was an adventure with Marcie. It was hands down the best vacation of my life. We visited a church and Marcie got in front of the church and sang “A light onto my path” that’s how she lived her life. Following the path God laid before her. Many years later she became an important part of our ministry in El Salvador. She made her sick monkeys each Christmas and gave many of the children here their first ever toy. Each child who received one now had a piece of her with them. We love you Marcie. You are deeply missed.,

Oh Marcie where do I start. I cannot believe you are gone, you still had a lot of life to live. You and I could always pick up where we left off whenever we talked or met up. I'm so thankful to have had the chance to have you in my life, my sons life and my husbands life. You were part of family time, which you loved being part of and would share.  We loved you very much and will miss you all of the days and all of the nights! Fly high my sister!

We met Marcie many years ago at Meridian Christian Church.  We served in a variety of ministries together.   Her smile, laughter and goofiness brought joy when she entered a room!  She has been a special part of our lives - loving on our kids, babysitting our grandkids, and buying our house.  She will be missed, but we are thankful for the promise that we will see her again in Heaven.  May God grant peace and comfort to all those mourning her loss.

I will miss you more than I thought possible.  I tried to help Chris spoil you with love and trinkets but was nothing compared too the love and care you gave me, even when you were hurting. Find peace and comfort in the arms of Lord, and put in a good word for me.

Chris and Marcie loved swimming in the pool in Rotonda West and gathering Shark Teeth at the beach on Manasota Key Beach in Englewood, Florida.  Love, Ernie Gruenberg


My sweet and funny  friend.....You have left a huge hole in all the hearts you’ve touched.  I will miss your smile, humor and grace. Peace and love to all you’re friends and family who are missing you. 

We extend our deep and heartfelt sympathy to you, Chris, at this difficult time of losing Marcie.
May the peace that comes from the memories of love shared, comfort you now and in the days ahead.

Water balloons. The Armada Tiger Marching Band. Band Camp. I’ll never forget is as kids watching Children of the Corn at the farm house on 34 mile road. The VCR becoming “possessed “ and wouldn’t eject the tape. Us calling mom at work scared out of our minds, and mom just shaking her head at us and laughing at us. We will miss you, Marcie. 

I have been so blessed to know Marcie for almost 36 years.  From high school antics in band, choir and the annual play to our more recent camping and 80’s Fest adventures, she was a ray of sunshine- always fun, upbeat and silly!  
My heart is broken for all that knew her, were close to her, and loved her- for their is now a great void in our lives!
Chris, Dora, David and Mitch: my love and prayers are with each of especially!  I will always have her in my heart and try to live and love as joyfully as she did to honor her memory!
Marcie-Fly high, my amazing sister- I can’t wait to see you again one day!  Love you!💜🙏🏻

I am in absolute shock to hear the news today.  I have known Marcie since First grade and we lived in the same neighborhood.   Many adventures together as kids and shared some times together as Adults also.   We shared alot of laughs and cries and celebrated lifes victories also.   She is going to be greatly missed by our original group of misfits Angela, Sonja, Lisa and myself.   Go rest high on that mountain and save a spot for me when it is my time to join you. 

Marcie was my next-door neighbor and childhood friend.  My brother and I spent a lot of time playing with her and David when we were kids.  I cherish our times together and am grateful that we were friends.   Rest in peace and my thoughts and prayers are with the Perry family.
With love always,
Heather

Sis, I miss you with ever being in my body... you where my rock my life line my entire life, you where my voice when I didn’t speak ..... how can I continue going through life without my big sis?!!! You made the person who I am today!  I have so many wonderful memories of you in my heart that I will cherish for the rest of my life!!!! I love you and miss you!!!! 

Love your little brother 😞😭

There are so many memories over 30 years worth . To pick one would be impossible ! Things that run through my mind are our vacations ,  long talks , always laughing at something , taking photos of something aka usually ourselves lol . Our coffee mornings just enjoying each other’s company , our middle of the night why are you awake go to sleep chats , our many adventures just to get out of the house for a few and see what kind of trouble we could cause ;) she was the best friend a person could ask for , a friend to not only myself but my kids as well ! She is the other half of me and will dearly be missed ! My heart goes out to all of her family and friends as she has many and will be missed by everyone she blessed with knowing her ! I love you Marcie !! 💔 until we meet again !! Photo is a beach adventure in Maine :) she was a great fisherman that day !! 

You are forever in my heart Marcie. We had over 36 years of friendship, good times, and laughter. I miss your smile and your love for life. Heaven gained a wonderful angel and soul. Love, prayer, and hugs are forever being  sent to Chris, David, and Dora. I love Marcie!! Fly high girl, until we meet again.

I remember Marcie from camp, both from Rock Lake and Wolverine.  I could always be certain that when Dora was there to serve as camp nurse,  Marcie would not be far away.
Our hearts go out to the family for your loss but we thank God that we have the assurance of being with our Lord and Marcie in heaven.  May He continue to bring you comfort each and every day. 
Dave and Judy Maltzan 

So sorry for your loss, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Allen Brown, Inge, and Daisy.

You are in my thoughts and prayers Chris. There are 36 years of memories with Marcie so it's hard to just pick one. I will miss her laughter and sense of humor, she could always make us laugh no matter what! There is a giant hole in my heart that I don't know if it will ever be filled. I love you so much Marcie! Until we meet again Scooter ❤

The Perry Family was our next door neighbors on Allerton Street. They were such a kind, fun loving Family. Our kids grew up together, and played together every day. Marcie was very special to all of us, she had this little cherub face that lit up every where she went. Always smiling, laughing, playing, she loved life to its fullest. We will truly miss this sweet, sweet soul. Heaven gained a beautiful Angel this day. Our hearts are forever broken, and we will miss her terribly. 

I met Marcie in her freshman year at GLCC. As one of her professors I always found her to be a joy to be around...and very fun-loving. Knowing the Perry family has been such a blessing to my wife and I over the years. We grieve with you Chris and family on your great loss...and heaven's gain.

Cousin Marcie was always so warm and welcoming. Accepting me for who I am and never judging me. She was always so much fun to be around and was a punk rocker at heart. I am going to miss her humor, her smile, and her love. I know she is in Heaven with her sister Karen, smiling down at us. Rest In Peace 

I first met Marcie at Great Lakes Christian College; she was a 2nd year student when I first started teaching there.  She was fun-loving, always had lots of friends around her, and could be counted on  for a smile or word of encouragement (and possibly a silly prank along the way).  In recent years I saw her a few times, and she continued to have a positive, fun, caring way about her.  She will be greatly missed here; I'm thankful she is pain-free and enjoying heaven.  She is no doubt livening up the heavenly choir!

I love you all so much! I am gonna miss aunt Marcie something fierce. She was my partner in crime when we were together and I will ALWAYS be her Jellybean. 

New Years one time was so fun with silly string and games and great people to spend the time with. Every member of the Perry family i know is family to me. love and miss you all.  xoxo
