Fundraiser for Marcina's Memorial

Marcina and I were married May 21, 2011. She was the perfect wife, mother and Christian woman. Everything about her and everything she did was dedicated to the glory of God.  She was dedicated, determined and magnificent. Her outlook was sunny and her disposition was sweet and kind. Anyone who knew her was drawn to her because the love of God shined so brightly in her.  She was a chocolate diamond that made the world a brighter place to live in. I deeply mourn her sudden passing! She will forever be my chocolate wonder woman. These have been the best 10 years of my life.

In February of 2016, I suffered a life threatening heart condition called an Aortic dissection. God saw Marcina and I through this massive life interruption. At the beginning of 2021, I was hospitalized for heart blockage in two of the arteries of my heart. I had surgery to open the blockages and I was off for two months. Once again, God brought Marcina an I through! Each instance, we incurred a tremendous interruption in our family finances. Consequently, we fell behind in our monthly expenses.

 

We were beginning to catch up when the doctors Informed me that I needed another surgery to implant a portable pacemaker and difibulator! In late August 2021, I had the surgery and I was off for another month. This was a terrible financial setback. Hence our family finances were under once more and my wife and I were struggling to catch up.

 

Unfortunately, on January 13, 2022, my wife Marcina passed away suddenly! Our families and I are both shocked and devastated!

 

Marcina was my chocolate drop. She was an amazing, vibrant and categorically beautiful woman. She was a incredibly intelligent woman who was infectious with her joy and zest for life. Her dream was to finish college and some day start a business. She also wanted to become a lawyer. She was a giving and compassionate woman who was always willing to lend a hand to those in need. She had a beautiful singing voice and to those who knew her well she had an incredible sense of humor. She will be missed greatly by all.

 

Unfortunately, Marcina suffered from a medical condition which prevented us from getting life insurance!

Furthermore, without our combined finances, I am unable to maintain our monthly bills because I just started a new job. I am humbly seeking to raise twenty thousand dollars to pay funeral expenses and cover the cost of the mortgage, gas, electric, and other bills for five months.

 

Throughout all my sickness and surgeries, my wife Marcina was faithful, supportive, and incredibly understanding! I will love and adore her till the end of days. Life for me will never be the same! Please help me honor her memory by keeping her legacy alive and her home maintained! Any donation would truly be appreciated and honored! God bless you all!

 

Sincerely,

 

Pastor Forest E. Brooks
