Oh the memories Marcie and I have from days past!!! So thankful for those!!! It will be a great homecoming with Robert!!! Prayers going out for Andra, Crystal, David, Kyle and the sweet Grand-daughters!!! RIP my dear friend Marcie!!! Always in my heart!!!
I worked with Marci in my early 20’s and we became wonderful friends! She and Robert were so dear to Jerry and I. The fun times we had dancing the night away in her living room…. Oh how she loved to dance!!! Many many mornings I would go by her house on my way to work and fix her hair for her and we would talk about everything! We knew many secrets about each other and they remain secrets. She was truly a special person, had a heart of gold! God would say — welcome my dear child- job well done! So Andra rejoice in the great times and don’t dwell on the sad times! You had a wonderful Mom! I Loved her – Nancyheart
I want to send my deepest sympathy to the family of Marcellene Joyce Williams Johnson. The bible tells us we can gain comfort from God, even during times of sorrow. We pray to our heavenly father for help to cope with the sorrow felt from the death of a loved one. By prayer and supplication along with thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known to God; and the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus. Philippians 46 May you find comfort by relying on our heavenly father and learning more about the blessings of God’s kingdom. Local ministry volunteer
