    She was so beautiful at her “going away” celebration. Lord I just pray that I have a many to show up at my own going away celebration as she did.
    What a peace throughout that whole place I could feel it. And how peaceful she looked, looked just like Marsha 20 years ago.
    To Marsha’s family, my prayers continue to you. Her kids are so blessed to have the family they have to take over where Marsha had to leave.
    God bless Brook, Hunter, River, Her mom, sisters and brothers as I know you miss her dearly but please remember that the one thing to look forward to is that you will all see her again. That’s what helps me get through the death of my own loved one, to know that there is going to be that day when we all meet them again. Love and prayers to you all. May you have peace in knowing that she will be waiting on you to join her one day in her mansion on the hill.

    Sorry, I could not make it to see Marsha to say good bye but I was told how beautiful that service was.
    I also heard about Marsha accepting the Lord Jesus Christ as her savior, Praise the Lord as it is a comfort to know that she is in the arms of our Lord surrounded by many loved ones who have already left this earth. Bless her family and her kids as I know she will always be with them as their Guardian with wings.
    RIP Marsha until we all meet again, and I know we will. Love ya girl.

    It broke my heart to hear of the news of Marsha passing but let me say that she was well loved and will be missed in so many ways.
    I too was at the funeral and I agree that it was one of the most beautiful services I have seen right down to the music, flowers, the colors all around her. SHE WAS BEAUTIFUL .I just pray that my own funeral one day will be just as beautiful. GOD bless the family and her children. I know that a day won’t go by that she isn’t with her loved ones.

    Yes that was one of the prettiest services I have ever been to.
    The way everything, her casket, her clothing, the flowers, how they all come together in sync, matching. And the camo shirts set it off to a T because now THAT was Marsha! She wouldn’t have had it any other way. Can’t wait to see her again.

    WOW what a “LOVED” person she was. So many people at that funeral saying good bye to Marsha proves how well she was loved. I have never seen such a large crowd at a service.
    To her family: So sorry for your loss, but knowing she is in a wonderful place with roads of gold, mansions, and many angles helps me with peace until I meet her again.

    Marsha was my beautiful stepsister and I am so sorry she passed away and left her beautiful children and family but I know that she is in Heaven and her stepfather which is my Daddy, Charles Miller has already cradled her in his arms and so has the Lord Jesus and that is the most wonderful blessing our family could ever ask for.

    Fred, Skippy, Tina & Jeff,
    I am so sorry to hear about Marsha. I will be praying for your family.

    All of us “kids” had such a good time growing up together on Rocky Avenue.
    I miss those days!
    I can remember coming to yalls house every morning before school and Marsha was always sitting in front of the tv watching “The Three Stooges” (and acting like Curly, of course) with Skippy yelling at her to hurry up and get ready for school or she was going to miss the bus. But Marsha didn’t care, she’d just sit there and laugh. She knew she was the baby and could get away with anything (and she did lol)
    It was always so much fun in yalls house-thats why we all hung out there so much.

    I will continue to pray for your family, I know your hearts are broken over this. Please let our family know if there is anything that we can do for you.

    The Knight Family
