I am incredibly saddened to read this. We had become friends on ScubaBoard and then I got to dive and dine with her this summer. What a totally terrific woman...a huge loss to the diving community.

Wow. That is a sad and unpleasant shocker. My condolences go out to her friends and her family. From my few forum interactions with her, she was a resourceful and a caring voice of reason for the board.
I was just thinking about asking her for some dive recommendations in Thailand few days ago.
God speed. We lost a good one.

The words numbness and shock don't begin to convey what I am feeling.
So sad to say goodbye to a respected diver who had a positive impact on so many.

Marcia and I had more than a few exchanges privately. Some when she spanked me. Others when she praised me. And a few that were just exchanging ideas. We diasagreed on some things but that is to be expected. I was impressed with her writing. I also respected her efforts in getting some new ideas along with others incorporated into training and though not enough credit was given them officially we here knew what the driving force was and who they were.
What hits hard about this is that she is the second mod I have had similar interactions with to die. Big Jet Driver and I also clashed and through those clashes became friends and respected each other.
It was the same with Marcia. What stated out as confrontations became.debates that only helped deepen a personal.connection. As personal as one can have over the net. I will miss her. And our battles.

Marcia recruited me as a moderator and was a constant source of counsel and mentoring. I join others in expressing my shock and sadness.
I don't want to believe it. I keep hoping that she'll just post something and end it.
I never met her personally but I've known her for years online and saw her as a friend. My thoughts go out to her family. I wish them strength in this horrible time.
