Marsha Hallberg Obituary

In many ways Marsha and I were as
different as night and day. She was
the fun loving, gregarious one; I
was the quiet, serious one. I
received perfect attendance awards
in school for six years in a row;
Marsha was absent a lot. She missed
most of 5th grade due to illness. I
went on to college; Marsha was
married at 19 and had her first
baby when she was 20. I was
referred to as the career woman;
Marsha's career was within her own
home. So very different but we were
sisters in the truest sense of the
word. We shared a bond and a
history that only we understood.
Marsha, I wish with all my heart
that you were still here. The next
time I see you we can once again
belt out a rousing rendition of
Regina Coeli, but then we'll be
surrounded by angels.

Dear Scott and family:

My heartfelt condolences go out
to you all on your loss. Marsha
will be sadly missed, and fondly
remembered by many. She was a good
friend, a loving mother, and a
staunch advocate for chldren; she
made a difference in all the lives
she touched. I met Marsha on
Prodigy almost 5 years ago; she
became a close friend and a
wonderful resource as I began my
journey to become a foster and
adoptive parent. Though your
sadness at her loss may sometimes
threaten to overwhelm you, know
that you were blessed to have been
touched by her in your lives. She
will remain forever a loving memory.

Dear Scott and kids,



I will always remember Marsha as a
caring and supportive friend. We
developed a friendship here when
she joined TOPS and later our bunco
group. She helped me through many
troubling times when she was here
and there. I will miss her support
but I will be always warmed with
the memories of her friendship. I
will miss her many jokes she would
send via e-mail. My heartfelt
sympathy to all of you but know she
loved you all so much! She spoke
of all of you in a loving way
always! She was a great person to
many! God bless you all!

Dear Hallberg Family:


Marsha was a good Bulletin Board
Buddy.She had a good outlook on life
and never gave the impression that
she would not make it.
I'd have volunteered to be a donor
if I weren't too old.I told her
that.I miss her.

Marsha was not only a friend she
was my aunt. I loved her very much
and though we never said it we both
knew. My world was flipped upside
down on that Saturday. Her heart
was very big. I always knew she had
cancer but until recently when she
went back into the hospital I
realized that it was getting to be
an even heavier burden. The last
time I saw her she was looking good
and I can't believe that she's gone



AUNT MARSHA YOUR THE WIND
BENEATH MY WINGS

Scott:


I was shocked and saddened when I
heard about Marsha. At the
partners meeting we were all hoping
for the best. I'm sorry I could
not attend the services on Monday,
but I had a Trustees meeting that
morning. Marsha and you will be in
my prayers, as this is going to be
a very difficult time for you. If
I can be of any help or consulation
please call me at any time. Again,
my heartfelt sympathy goes ot to
you and your children.

To Marsha's Family;



I first knew Marsha when she was
our neighbor in Chicago. She lived
just a few doors down from us.
Marsha was wonderful and when I was
laid for several months as a child
she came down and helped me pass
the hours by talking etc. She was
more of a friend to my sister,
Kathy, though we all shared in her
marriage and arrival of children.
Marsha then went on to help so many
other children. My sister kept me
aware of her illness and her
constant struggles and I was so sad
to hear that she was no longer able
to defeat it and had passed away.
I will think of you often, Marsha,
and know that you are watching over
all of us.

Dear Scott, Doug, Robin, Cindy,
Chrissy, Dee, and Lisa -

I first met Marsha when her mother,
Lorraine, brought her to a TOPS
meeting. Even though we didn't
lose much weight, our friendship
developed. She was one of the
first to join our Bunco group, or
as we call ourselves - The Bunco
Babes. Marsha was a fun loving,
friendly, caring person who will be
sorely missed by all who knew her.
May God be with you and know in
your hearts that Marsha is and will
be forever be watching over you.
My love and prayers to you all.

To Scott and children,

From the first time I met Marsha I
knew she was very special person.
She accomplished so much in such a
short time. Everyone who knew her
was blessed and now I know the
plans for her are more important
than mortals can understand.



You must be very proud.



Dennis and Nora Napier and Family

Marsha will be missed so much, by
so many people. I will use her
memory as an inspiration in how I
try to treat people. She always
had a kind word of encouragement
for me. She had a special way of
letting people believe in
themselves. Thank you Marsha.

Dear Family of Marsha,

She was a major influence in my
life of foster care and adoption.
She urged me on and I don't think I
would have made it through the
adoption of our daughter 5 years
ago if not for her understanding,
advice and kindness to me. I do
and will miss her so much. I
really thought that she would make
it through and was devestated to
hear that she didn't. I never told
her that I also have cancer because
I am not as accepting and able to
keep on as she was. I didn't want
her to worry as she had such a
great attitude about her own
situation.


I'll miss her so much and even
though we never met I feel as if
she was a lifelong friend.


Sincerely,

Sherrill Howard

Dear Scott and family:



We are very sorry to hear about
Marcia. She will be deeply missed.
She is watching over you and the
children now from above I am sure.
Our prayers are with you all.

With our heartfelt sympathy.

Gloria, Dave, Kristin, Britny
Kittelson and Grama Rybicki.

Scott and Family,



LadyM was one of the best people I
have ever met. She was always there
for friends and family. I met
Marsha on Prodigy and am proud to
say she became my friend. I shall
miss her more than words can tell.



Diana

I was very sad to hear about
Marsha. I will fondly remember her
as the generous and giving person
she truly was. Having spent a lot
of time working with her at the
Waterbury School as PTO officers
and lunchroom mom’s I know first
hand what a warm-hearted soul she
had.


There is another angel in heaven
watching over us now. She will be
missed.
