To Marcia's Family,

I worked with Marcia at AT&T in Woodbury, NY. Although I haven't seen or spoken to her in years I was shocked and sadden to hear of her passing. My deepest condolence go out to her daughter/grands and family members. You all will be in my prayers.

Sincerely,

James Dougherty

Marcia has always been one of my all time favorite people. The last time I saw her is a perfect example of why I feel this way. I was attending a BB King cocert at Jones Beach when I saw Marcia enter the arena. I hadn't seen her in over ten years but recognized her immediately. My normal "M-O" would be to stay out of sight, but I was happy to see her, so I approached her and we spoke for 15 to 20 minutes and then the concert began. I had dragged my brother to this concert and BB didn't take the stage until almost two hours in. So I listened to a few songs and then let my brother "off the hook" and we left. A few days later, I received an autographed "To Jimmy" picture of BB King in the mail, along with a note from Marcia saying that she looked for me after the concert to bring me back stage to meet him. I'm sorry that I didn't stay in touch, but so happy to have been touched by her. My condolences to Marcia's family especially her daughter and grandchildren
