Marsa Larson, 64, was called home to be with her Lord and Savior on October 7th in Rockford, IL. She was surrounded by her loved ones when Jesus came to get her.

Heather and Thad,
You are in my thoughts and prayers. Marsa was a very special person and we enjoyed many good times together. I will never forget the two of us taking the bus trip to the World’s Fair in Tennessee
Heather and Thad,
We just got home from visiting relatives in Colorado and heard your voice mail. I was so sad to hear about your mom. She was one of the nicest people I know. I am so sorry that we hadn’t been in touch more. I remember you both as children when she was my boss at BAIPA. She was the best boss!! You both were so very kind and thoughtful. I hope you are doing ok. You are in my thoughts and prayers! I will be at the service on Saturday. Many Hugs to you both!
Dear Heather, Thad and Sherry
So sorry to hear of Marsa’s passing. We plan to attend the service.
Brad and Sue
