Marcenia Delores LaFleur
(Marci) made her transition on June 3, 2008,
approximately 2 weeks after we completed our
work on The Art of Living. I clearly recall
our dancing together and my declaration to
her that she was my best friend. Her
response to me was that I was her best
friend. In that Marci has a plethora of dear
friends, I graciously accepted her
acknowledgement. Yet, thinking that she was
merely caught up in the moment, I inquired
whether she was declaring me as her best
friend because I acknowledged her as mine.
Marci quickly and at the same time firmly
and gently refuted that notion; emphatically
stating a few reasons why that was so.
Aside from this special
moment of endearment, the greatest
compliment she ever paid me was to equate my
spiritual integrity, conviction and humanity
with that of her father whom I consider one
of the three most wonderful people I've been
blessed to meet in this lifetime. It bears
saying that Marci is one of the remaining
two. Her contribution to the music that has
emerged as a defining quality of I AM
Unlimited Ministries is unquestionable.
On a personal note, Marci
was my heart. And, during the 15 years we
shared, had I told her so a million times
more, it would not have been enough. Though
her voice continues to resound in the music
we composed, Marci's presence in my life and
the lives of those she touched is sorely
missed. From vocal arranger, group
organizer, rehearsal master to best friend,
Marci's sweet spirit mixed with an ample
measure of personal conviction and resolve
were and remain the essence of the I AM
Unlimited Vision.
SHINE ON ANGEL!!!
