Peaceful Thoughts / Shirley, Katie's Mom(POS) (friend to her Mom )
Dear Arline......Marla is such a beutiful young woman......my heart goes out to you and your family. Peaceful thoughts.
Shirley
Today/ Lisa Cable One year ago today, Sept 15th, 2008 Marla was physically here........walking, breathing, living life. Little did anyone know in just a few short hours, the matter of a day that she would living her life thru others instead of on her own. I always think the day before the memorial day is so sad. We remember this day as the days that will follow. Please know that my heart aches for all of the family and friends of Marla. You are in my thoughts today, tomorrow and the days to follow as you relive these days from one year ago over and over in your mind.
Arline, I know I have said it before and I will say it again.........Marla is such a beautiful, beautiful young woman. I am sure Kevin is right up there just amazed by her beauty.
Know that my heart is hurting right along with yours.

Memories of Marla / Jessica Morano (friend) There are so many, it's hard for me to narrow it down so I am just gonna ramble some off: Fantasy Fest (when it was just us girls), Trailer Trash Party, Pond Apple Creek, Dancing in the Acura, dancing at the Chili Pepper, going to the irish bar off of Andrews Ave and singing the Rattling Bogg, the SandBar in the Keys, Bootleggers on Sundays, Glenn's apartment after hours, the Renaissance Festival, seeing the first Jackass movie in the theater and laughing our heads off, watching every reality show on the planet and then calling each other to talk about it, her laughter, her smile and most of all her friendship....I will miss her always.
When Tomorrow Starts Without Me / Brandy Grayson (friend)
When tomorrow starts without me, and I'm not there to see; If the sun should rise and find your eyes, all filled with tears for me; I wish so much you wouldn't cry, the way you did today, while thinking of the many things, we didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me, as much as I love you, and each time that you think of me, I know you'll miss me too; But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand, that an angel came and called my name, and took me by the hand, and said my place was ready, in heaven far above, and that I'd have to leave behind, all those I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away, a tear fell from my eye, for all life, I'd always thought, I didn't want to die. I had so much to live for, so much yet to do, it seemed almost impossible, that I was leaving you. I thought of all the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad, I thought of all the love we shared, and all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday, just even for awhile, I'd say goodbye and kiss you and maybe see you smile. But then I fully realized, that this could never be, for emptiness and memories, would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things, I might miss come tomorrow, I thought of you, and when I did, my heart was filled with sorrow. But when I walked through heaven's gates, I felt so much at home. When God looked down and smiled at me, from His great golden throne, He said, "This is eternity, and all I've promised you".
Today for life on earth is past, but here it starts anew. I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last, and since each day's the same day, there's no longing for the past.
But you have been so faithful, so trusting and so true. Though there were times you did some things, you knew you shouldn't do. But you have been forgiven and now at last you're free. So won't you take my hand and share my life with me?
So when tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart, for every time you think of me, I'm right here, in your heart.
For Marla / Arline Marla's Mom Nothing Gold Can Stay by: Robert Frost
Nature's first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold. Her early leaf's a flower; But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay.
What a beautiful tribute to your beautiful daughter. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family for such a big loss. Purple was my son Jacob's favorite color, too. Lots of hugs and love from the heart always.

I'm sorry you're gone! / Melanie Leon (Long Lost Friend )
So many thoughts are going through my mind about Marla! Unfortunately I just found out about her tragic suicide now. I guess the grapevine doesn't work as well as it used to! I'm sorry I couldn't be there for the funeral! I still can't believe she's gone. When my friend told me I thought- no! Not Marla Stumpff. That can't be who you're talking about!
Marla and I met in high school. We were M and M. Boy did we get into trouble together. Arline can attest to that I'm sure. It was all in good fun and a growing experience that every teenager goes through. Marla and I were so close from the age of 14 to about the age of 21! I helped Marla learn how to drive. We shopped, rollerbladed, danced endless weekends at the Chili Pepper. So many fun times.
Like Tanya's tribute (by the way- Hi Tanya!!) we also lost touch for the last few years. I just sat here reading Arline's tribute and can't help but feel ashamed that I am one of the people that might have led to her feeling like friendships just weren't as loyal as they should be. I am so sorry for the pain that Marla must have felt! Unfortunately it's too late, but I would have never wanted her to leave this earth the way that she did! We will all miss you Marla!
