Obituary for Mrs. Marcia T. Day

"To the Day Family. Marcia and I became friends after high school, and as she was about to go to college in Ohio, and I to college in Missouri. One day on each of our summer jobs, she drove up to a worksite in Belmar, New Jersey, and was driving an ice cream truck. Everybody rushed to see the short, pretty blond girl driving. They all ran to see her and played like foolish children, but I waited, and went over when she was alone. I asked her for a fudge sickle, and she said why didn't you come with them, and my reply was that was no way to treat a lady. A lady she was, and our friendship was so special. We would talk for the next couple of summers giving each other updates on our lives. I knew she had met someone at college, and she knew I had a girl for years. We had such wonderful times just talking for she was a girl from affluent Fair Haven, and I a guy down the social ladder from Belmar, however she always treated me as and equal. Our last talk was when she came for a day off from a job in Princeton, as a nanny for the Rosenthal family, and I was on an internship with the NYC Controller, in the park across from the Mayor's Office. My heart breaks for you all at her loss. She was one of the gentlest and kindest people I have ever known in my life. We Irish call our friendship, Anam Cara, soul's friends. My prayers and deepest condolences go to you, and my wish is heaven has already made a special place for her. There are no words to say what a loss to the world she will be. May the Blessed Mother, watch over you and comfort you.

"May she rest in peace and rise in glory. Prayers for her and her family."

"Don and family. I have tremendous memories of Marcia while serving briefly as an interim priest at All Saints many years ago. Our time there was made complete when Marcia and Don visited us in Saskatchewan, Canada, shortly after our return home. She was a joy to us and a person of remarkable faith. May she rest in peace and rise in glory. Christopher Snook, Port Williams, Nova Scotia (Canada)"

"Jennifer and family,
I had the pleasure of meeting your mom when she was remodeling her kitchen. I felt instantly connected to her. I even bought her Twizzlers :). My heart is breaking for you. She was a wonderful woman. My heartfelt prayers are with you at this most difficult time.

"I am shocked to see this notice of Marcia's passing. We met in college and I have some great memories. We lost touch over the years but recently connected through Facebook. I wish we had spoken. She was such a ball of energy and fun. My sympathies and prayers to her family."

"Oh my, I am sitting in shock as I learn that Marcia has left us. The last time we spoke, she was warrior-ing through so much. Marcia took my Bereavement course at Kent State after the death of her brother. She would go through the McDonald's drive through and get a hot fudge sundae after class. She was then known as the Hot Fudge Sundae lady. We emailed and processed every class and she was such a delight to know....such great insight and sense of humor. Marcia will be missed as she left a big lasting smile to all who knew her."
