To the Marchi Family,

I am so sad to hear of the passing of Dr. Marchi. I had been a patient of his since 1973. He helped bring my two sons into this world. He was a very caring physician and always took time with you to discuss your concerns. I join your family in grieving a wonderful man. I will keep you all in my prayers.

Sincerely,

Sister Donna Marie, C.R.

Dear Michaela and Michael Paul: I was deeply saddened to hear of your loss. Having been in your father's employ for over eleven years brings back so many wonderful memories. He was always there for me and all my family. I can truly say that it has been an honor and a pleasure to have known such a wonderful man.

Susan and family. I extend my sympathy on the loss of your beloved husband. I know you gave him excellent care and you will miss him dearly. There is a scripture that I would like to share with you. It is from Revelations 21:4. "And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away." May it give you strength and peace.

We love you Papa!

Dear Susan, Michael Paul and Michaela,



Please except my deepest sympathy. Michael was a wonderful and caring person. He was a good friend to Joyce and myself. We always enjoyed the many family functions that we attended in the past. Susan and Michael always made us feel at home when we were with their family.



Michael now joins my dear Joyce in Heaven, once again renewing old acquaintances

I am deeply saddened to learn of Dr. Michael Marchi's passing, and my love,thoughts and prayers are with Michaela, Michael, and Susan. Dr. Marchi was one of the most unique people I knew in both his life story and personality, and made a lasting impression on all of us kids charging in and out of his home while we were growing up. His fight with recent illnesses was truly remarkable and he will be missed greatly. Now, without physical struggles, he can continue looking after and over the people he loved so much in his life. Please accept my wishes for peace and comfort during this difficult time.
