Dear Halpren Family,
I am sending my most heartfelt condolences to your family. Being a close friend of Daniel, I got to see Marsha many times at the cottage and I remember her kindness and contentness with life. She always was so positive and had an infectious smile.
May you all be comforted by the wonderful mother and lady Marsha was and know no more sorrow for here on end.

Sincerest condolences to the Halpern Family on the passing of
Marcia.
May her memory be of a blessing.
Wishing all long life.

My deepest condolences to Bill, Alan, Judy, and family.
Marcia was a wonderful and dedicated bubbie to my sons Ethan and Saul. She instilled in them by example a deep appreciation of family, community, conversation, (and of course of her delicious home cooking and baking).
She possessed a gregarious spirit and strength of presence that will be sorely missed by all that knew her.
Bill and family,
We are so sorry to hear of Marcia’s passing.
There has never been a time in my lifetime when I have not known her….
Whether it be in our home, at Shul or public events and Simchas.
A lovely Lady, always someone you could count on.
I must share with you that within minutes of my learning the news, I looked outside and there was the most exquisite double rainbow….she and Joan must already have linked up.
Wishing you and your family only the best at this sad time.
Our thoughts are with each of you at this trying time. Its a time of family unity to support one another, share memories, and be with friends and others to applaude Marcia as a Wife, Mom, Grandmother, or other relations.
May you all be comforted by her radiant smile, and joie de vivre that could fill a room.
Dear Halpren Family,
Please know that my heart and thoughts are with you for Marcia.A very lovely lady.
Fondly,
Michael Bornstein
