year 3 when you had those jeans i was so jealous of, and we played dress up and you let me wear them. your harry potter cloak i was so obsessed with. filming big brother on my rubbish camera phone with millie. you were cheryl cole and changed your accent every few minutes. :) when we went to watch harry potter 6, the really weird woman that walked into the wall and we couldnt help but laughing so hard. also in harry potter 6 when we held up our straws in respect and memory of dumbledore. :P tibble town! your 11th birthday and only you and henny dressed nicely while pretty much everyone else looked a bit odd, especially me in my 2 shades of red. sexy. finding nemo. in year 7 when all the boys were in the woods jumping off the leaf pile, when dom did the superman jump and we couldnt breathe for about an hour. heads bodies and legs, and consequences. and you loving my mums spaghetti and meatballs. and you never complained about anything <3 i'm gonna miss you so much, and our little get togethers, watching finding nemo won't be the same without you saying the words with them. love you so so much jessi <3 xxxxxx

I met Marcie only once here in Amsterdam and it was wonderful to let such a beautiful girl experience my beautiful city. I was most impressed by how mature she was for such a young girl. A beautiful soul.

Well...where do I begin! we had so many funny times it would take me a decade to count just half of them!
1. My favorite has to be when Weezy bought us those sprays for Christmas and Mr. Catanack was like 'Mehhh, don't spray that, it smells disgusting' and you were like 'Lets make the room smelly girly!!!' and at the exact time we both sprayed the bottles, yours sprayed me in the eyes! and I was like 'AHHHH MY EYES!!!' it was so funny we nearly fell over! 2. HEE HEE, that stupid woman in the cinema who was like 'Excuse me, yeah sorry,can I just...' walking down our isle when we were right next to the wall in the dark and she walked face first into the wall and we had to try so hard not to laugh in her face because it was sooo funny! 3. When I winded my self at your house on your heeleys! I was doing sooo well and I said 'Marcie look at me I can do it!' and just as you came to see, I fell flat on my back by your dad's office! you were laughing histerically! whilst I was like 'UUUHHH....UUUHHH' I was never allowed on them again and every time I came to your house you would hide them from me! 4. Our numerous videos that we made on my phone! especially the one of our Eastenders re-make of Stella's death! So funny, you can hear you laughing in the bit where I was stella and I jumped off your bed (which was a tall building) onto your floor (which was all the way at the bottom of the building) and when you (Phil) were chasing me to the 'building', we had that funny music playing from your keyboard! Marcie, i'm really going to miss our fun times, nothing will ever beat them they will stay with me forever. Love Henny xxxxxxxxxxxxx | ||||

We invited Marcie and James to our box at London Wasps. I think James might have been most excited to start with!. Marcie enjoyed the food and we had cakes in the interval. She was allowed to say nice 'bottom' all afternoon when describing the fit players!! Marcie had lots of photos with the players which are on this website. She sent us a copy of one of herself with Josh Lewsey with a lovely Thank you note which we will treasure. Lovely girl, lovely family. Rest in Peace Marcie xx | ||||

Marcie, I will remember you with having the black wit of your father; realising creative levels beyond your age (with Leah as your 'master' in all things ART!); having a sense of your own identity in how your wore your clothes, being a gorgeous letter writer which you certainly got from your mother (and I have a beautiful long letter you wrote to us only 2 mths ago - I will cherish it darling girl), and being the biggest tease to, but simultaneously, a loving sibling to Millie and Zach. Thank you for your little paintings....the one of Millie and Issy you did that day in the flat we lived in at Gerrards Cross, and the thank-you postcard with a painting of a vase with flowers in it (that Issy tried to copy many time...and did quite well I might add!). Rest gorgeous girl. Let us all baffle our way through here on the ground, and you just REST IN PEACE. Love you always, and know that we will always have your family's best interests in our hearts. xxxxxxxxx

I remember coming across the webpage of a young girl who had something in common with my son. When I clicked on the page and saw that smiling face, I knew that here was a girl who was going to live her life no matter what! Although we live 3500 miles away and had never met in person, it was a privilege to watch her grow through the years. It was Marcie who inspired our family motto - LIVE EACH DAY!

Marcie the rider! The face she would pull if she didn't get to ride her favourite pony muffin! Hannah and Marcie daring each other over who could jump the highest and the jumps were all of 2ft! James and I would be laughing hysterically at the way they both thought they were the best riders in the world! Muffin would periodically have enough of whatever exercise that the kids were supposed to be doing and willfully trot to the corner of the school with Marcie heaving at the rains with all her might to stop him, he would cleverly drop his shoulder and put Marcie in a heap on the floor! She would laugh and scold him and never defeated get straight back on. She must have only been 6 or 7 at the time but the determination she showed not to be beaten was amazing! A very special and exceptionally brave little girl who made everyone around her laugh! Rest in peace in a better place The Martinsxxx | ||||

Marcie, Paris, ville que tu aimes, te souviens tu : jardin d'acclimatation et les manèges, la Tour Eiffel, le bateau mouche ? On te demande que veux tu manger ? et tu réponds du pâté en fait des rillettes et que veux-tu boire ? du champagne !!! Quand tu étais petite tu suçais les bouchons de champagne et tu buvais la goutte de champagne qui restait dans le fond de ton verre. Ta joie de vivre est une leçon pour les grands. Ton sourire restera pour toujours dans mon coeur Bisous bisous tatie Domi | ||||

Dear Marcie, The image of you that springs to mind most clearly is one of you looking positively radiant. Think it must have been at St P's Xmas fair last year- you'd had your hair coloured, nails painted, were wearing super earrings and some groovy clothes. You looked stunning but what made it was the smile on your face. How you and your family have coped over the years has been truly amazing, an inspiration to us all. And you will continue to be just that for so many of us for the years to come. You will never be forgotten. Rest in peace. Wendy x

I remember you as such a pretty little poppet when you joined st p's, undoubtedly Justine's work! You loved swimming and I watched you fool around at galas, you were so chuffed to be in the school team. Even when you weren't able to swim you still came to watch, still joked with Poppy and mocked the posturing boys. Always graceful, always laughing, always brave. With or without hair you were pretty. I can't tell you the number of times I wanted to give you a hug. I remember noticing how you seemed to resemble Matt, almost like a sister. But without his hideous cold sore! Teehee When I delivered that commode to your house it seemed like such a poor offering to such an amazingly brave family, I'm in awe of how you have all coped for so long. You got lucky having James and Justine for parents. I hope you can swim all you want now and wear as much make-up and eat as many sweets as you like. Carefree. Never gone, just in the room next door or there in the little joyful things. Sweet dreams xxx

Marcie, The first time you came to Paris, you were just one year old and through the years you still liked the 'maneges' at the Jardin d'Acclimatation, the Eiffel Tower and enjoyed the food and - of course - the champagne - just like your Dad; How wonderful it was to see you so happy this year again in April at the Jardin d'Acclimatation, at the Louvre museum where you admired the Joconde. You have been very very brave Marcie and you are the admiration of everyone. You will always remain in my heart. Reposes en paix. Bisous Annick | ||||

Marcie, I haven't seen you since you were small, but even so I will never forget when we were staying at your house for a while, and you just loved to knock on the bedroom door until I opened it really quick, and said " Who's there", you would fall about laughing your pretty little head off....and then I would go back in, close the door and off we would go again ......until your lovely Mum would shout, "Marcie, leave Sharon alone now".....but we did enjoy that little game. You also loved me coming into the bathroom while you were having your evening bath, and loved squirting me with water from your rubber fish....( not a one of my better looks ) ok granted you probably was the only one laughing, but we will let you have that one. ha ha !! Your mum and me had some laughs during our many times of "hanging out together" ( not literally) and it certainly sounds like you took on all of the lovely qualitys of your Mum & Dad. I am sure Mum told you that I also have a little girl who's now 7, and when she was born it seemed just perfect to name her Marcie too. . she is always laughing and messing about too, and reading your other lovely messages on here, something tells me its with the name. Marcie my darling, what an amazing young lady you turned out to be, I have followed your story and the fight you gave to beat your illness, and I hope wherever you are now, looking down on everybody that loves you, you are as proud of yourself as we all are of you. Sleep peacefully angel. Lots of love Sharon & Marcie 2 x x x x x x x

I remember my first summer living in America i came back and visited you and we went on your trampoline and watched Shrek 2. We had some really good times, and no matter what state of mind you were in, you were always positive and happy. I'll miss you so much Marcie, Rest In Peace. I'm just sorry that i didn't have a chance to see you more, because you truly were a great friend who knew how to maintain contact and a relationship even when I had left to to start a new life. I love you and will miss you forever, Charlie | ||||

When i was at St Piran's Marcie used to call me blondie. I can remeber her bounding down the hall way, envelope me in a big hug, with a massive grin on her face, and run off shouting "bye blondie". I miss being called blondie. And i miss seeing that smile. Im just really sorry i didnt get to see it much in the past years. I wish i could have been around more for you Marcie. RIP Mini Me. I miss you lots. xxxxx

Memories of Marcie from the D-Ss 1.40pm Thursday afternoon… Mr & Mrs D-S are over in the Music Room… the bell goes… “Quick, we must get across to Girls’ Choir!” As we climb the Chapel stairs the beautiful strains of vocal exercises greet our ears. On entering the chapel we find Jess, Navdeep & Issy bravely assuming Mrs D-S’s role, but who will be brave enough to be Mr D-S? No worries, for there seated at the piano is Marcie dutifully giving the note. As we enter, she turns and displays her lovely broad grin, which we have all come to know and love. The bell goes at the end of the practice and everyone is off to Lesson 6… well almost everyone… someone is back on the piano stool again and the happy strains of Marcie’s playing fill the chapel… more smiles and laughter before she is reminded that Lesson 6 has started! For us those were very special moments of having Marcie to ourselves, not forgetting the times when she would on occasion make a discreet exit from a swimming gala and make her way to the Music Department to play us her latest piece! Or indeed the many occasions at the end of an RE lesson or class music, when her friends would also be flocking round encouraging her and showing their appreciation. There is no doubt that Marcie’s enjoyment of the piano served as a fulfilling and therapeutic occupation during the last years of her life when she was so often unable to be in school. Many will recall Marcie’s lovely piano solo at the Upper School Concert at the end of Year 7. Perhaps at that time she did not fully appreciate the sheer joy it gave those who cared for her to see her able to perform on that occasion. Similarly, it was so good that right up to the end of Year 8, Marcie would come into school for a Girls’ Choir anthem whenever she could and that was very special. Marcie was a girl with a lovely disposition and a mischievous sense of humour, which still shone through despite her illness. Sometimes she would be in lessons and sometimes not, but we always felt it was a bonus to have her and her friends were always around her supporting her. Marcie enjoyed life to the full as far as she was able and perhaps three things stand out, firstly her sense of fun, secondly her enormous bravery in the face of suffering, and thirdly the devotion and loyalty that she drew from her friends who were always there for her. Our hearts go out to all Marcie’s family and friends as we entrust her into the hands of “The Good Shepherd” about whom we so often sang in Chapel Services and Assemblies. To all who are here today to celebrate Marcie’s life, despite not being able to be with you in person, we are very much with you in spirit. God bless you all. Laurence & Alison Durston-Smith / Mr & Mrs D-S. | ||||

the first time i sat with you at lunch. you waited for me to come with you to break. talking in the girls changing rooms about mr. fart-a-merry. saying goodbye to you when i moved. the video you and your dad ("the slave") made for me when i left. cha cha cha, cha cha cha, and DIP!! siting on your bed, talking this summer when i came to visit. playing cooking mama on your wii. trick-or-treating and freaking people out. making my ducky face always make you laugh. singing in the girls changing room. running out of the changing room when ever we heard a teacher come in. calling you. laughing with you. making a friendship bracelet for you and getting the green bangle friendship bracelet from you for my birthday. i love you so much, Marcie and i promise i will never forget you. it would be impossible to do that, though. you were always there for me, always wanting to listen to what i had to say, and your brilliant smile never faded. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and a million more, megan

Beautiful Marcie. Your parents were the first of my friends to have children and I thought they were so grown up having a daughter. It paid off big time once I started having children of my own because you were the perfect childminder! If I close my eyes I can picture you holding Charlie in his christening gown and cuddling Lucy. Then every year at the cricket you would keep me entertained while we watched your dad and my husband hitting a ball and running about a bit trying to pretend they still had it! Well I say watched but I think we may have done more gossiping. This year you had the most perfect nails making mine look so disgusting. AND you kept raising an eyebrow everytime I took more cake! Gosh you never let me get away with anything. I've never met any one who take the p out of an adult (well me) so effectively! You are the sparkiest, bravest person I know. You are an inspiration to me and countless others. It is my absolute priviledge to have known you and you live on in so many hearts including mine. Beautiful Marcie. | ||||

Wendy has gone to Stoke Poges and I can't stop thinking of you all - even though I didn't know Marcie with our boys being in the wrong year! However I remember one thing well. Sometimes at St Piran's pick-up time there would be a commotion, a crowd of children - this was Marcie making it into school and immediately being surrounded by her friends. Seeing that and reading these pages - well, she was blessed seemingly by many best friends, and a great family. I know you'll stay strong for Amelia & Zac, and of course for Marcie. Our thoughts will be with you - David & Wendy. | ||||

Well one of my fave (and rudest!) memories is when you came to my 40th Birthday Party.... Some of my girlfriends had organised a fireman stripper for me and you watched the whole thing! Not only did you watch, laugh and cheer - you filmed the whole thing on your phone and then teased me for the rest of the evening by waving your phone at me and saying "This is soooo going on youtube!!" Thank goodness it never made it on there - at least not that I've been able to find!! Although it would be nice to see it as you were there....... Love you Gorg Girl xx | ||||

I remember meeting you about a year before you became poorly. I remember how lovely with babies you were when Molly was born. I remember painting yours and Millie's faces at Arley Close, not bad for a first timer. But most of all I remember being at Bristol with your Dad and Max in my tummy. I had to get an extra large gown to fit round me! Your hospital teacher came in and asked me to think of a song for us to sing...... My answer....Banana's in pyjamas!! THE MOST RUBBISH answer!!! We all laughed but we sang it!!! ;o) Molly and I talk about you lots, you are never far from our thoughts. You will remain there forever. I look up at the stars and I think of you. We love you and you will never be forgotten x | ||||

I never knew Marcie, but I know Milly, her sister. Milly is the best, always knows when to cheer me up, calm me down or give me a hug. I love Milly like a sister. My aunt, Marie Walker (or Marie Eales, she's married now!) has worked at the Children's Hospital in the John Radcliffe, and she helped Marcie, and thought that she was a wonderful girl. My mother is a teacher and nearly applied for a deputy head job at St. Pirans, Marcie and Milly's old school. Ironic! I discovered this website when I searched up Amelia Loader one time at the weekend. I never knew about Marcie before that day, and I was shocked to know that Milly had had a sister. However, I read into Marcie's story, and by this, I felt more connected to Milly. I would have loved to know Marcie, but I thank her and her story for bringing me a wonderful friend.

I am very sorry to read what happened. I met Marcie as a medical student in Oxford. James gave me her “business card” back then, and I have followed her story ever since. I am now training as a paediatrician with a view to becoming an oncologist which is very much influenced by meeting Marcie and other children with cancer at the JR. Incidentally, I am currently doing research on Ewing’s at Great Ormond Street. My deepest sympathy Sam | ||||

I just found the news, I never knew marcie personally but came across this website in 2005 and have been following marcie's progress ever since and praying for her, I hadn't checked it in a long while and just though of her last night so i checked back only to find that she is no longer with us. My heart goes out to the whole family, marcie seemed to be a lovely bubbly beautiful girl who inspired everyone around her and she is most definetely missed by all. Lots of love and hugs to the whole family, love Ellie xxxxxxx
