Helen Marcia DeCillo - This Guest Book June 21, 2011 My deepest sympathies to the family & friends of Marcia. I had the pleasure of shopping at Cider Mill many times & the best part was chatting with Marcia. She taught me so much about the wonderful antiques in her shop when I first started collecting & I am honored to have some special pieces to hold in her memory. She will be missed. ~ Karen Gerhart, Ulster Park, New York June 11, 2011 Marcia was my Mom's (Peggy Dean) dearest friend. My mother had nothing but kind and gentle words for Marcia. Antiques and horseback riding together were their favorite times together. I too have great stories and memories with Marcia. She will be deeply missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you . ~ Stephen Dean, Saugerties, New York June 10, 2011 We did not have the pleasure of ever meeting Marcia, our son's future mother-in-law, but judging from her daughters she must have been a very lovely lady. Our hearts go out to her family. Rosemary and Doug Baldwin June 10, 2011 Marcia and Joe were our neighbors in Maine, and it is difficult to express how much we will miss her. We shared so many good times together. We would go to yard sales on Saturday, and she always had the "best eye". We had so many laughs and shared so many moments. Our sympathies to all of "her girls". She loved them all so, and she was so proud! ~ Jean & Nick Johnson, York Beach, Maine June 09, 2011 I am so sad at the loss of my friend, dear Marcia. She was always there for me. It did not matter if we had not seen each other for long stretches. Once together again, it was as if no time at all had passed. Marcia's greatest legacy is her three wonderful daughters and two adorable grand daughters. She adored them all. Safe and peaceful landing, dear friend, over that last big jump. ~ Regina June 09, 2011 We are so sorry to hear of this. We hold many great memories of Marsha and her family. Thinking of you all. ~ Sarah & Natalie Filler June 09, 2011 So sorry for your loss, she was a great lady...I loved coming to visit her in her shop. ~ Lorrie Place, Highland, New York June 09, 2011 Marcia was a dealer ,for a time, here at The 1800 House and I would like to extend my condolences to her family and friends. ~ Karen Woodward, Massachusetts Dear Joe,Cathy, Caroline and Vicki.
