    Really sorry to hear that - I only just opened the thread and was going to post a message hoping she turned up - then I read the update.

    Very sad.

    My thoughts and prayers are with her family, and I don't mean the one she was born into. The family that have loved and supported her, and embraced her as she found her true identity, by this I mean your PFLAG Chapter and the LGBT Community around her.

    Have to say it brought a tear to my eye. Very sad and awful news that someone with such courage has been taken from us and more specifically your own local community.

    Anyway although it's hard to do, try not to dwell to much on what her parent's are going to do. It's very much there loss for not knowing or recognising the real Marcie something that yourself and other's had the chance to do.

    All so sad, just remember the good time's and the person she was.

    Condolences to yourself and everyone who loved her. (&&&)

    I'm really sorry to hear that Becky! (*hug*)

    Just this morning I was listening to a radio programme on people who are transgender and are still transitioning and the difficult lives they have at times. It is sad to hear that Marcie didn't get the support that she sought and needed. RIP Marcie
     
  9. This breaks my heart. Rest in Peace Marcie.

    That truly is terrible. I'm so sorry that it came to this, and it's so wrong that her family still won't respect who she was. (*hug*) RIP Marcie.

    This is absolutely terrible. I'm so sorry Becky!
    It's scary that you posted here and then found out the reality of what had happened.
    This should be a lesson for all the unsupportive family members of LGBT children.
    Her parents should at least respect who she was in life... but i suppose the funeral and wake are more for the living "loved" ones than the deceased...

    I'm sorry about this happening :frowning2: . I would hope that the parents would at least respect her even in her death with the dressing.
    I hope that this kind of stuff stops~ come on why do people still have to die for these things! I hope this brings a new light to their parents and those that caused her, her troubles.
    May she rest in piece.

    It turns out the parents are cremating the body but still the parents will not acknowledge her change in gender. They know about the memorial that we have planned for the glbt community. It would be nice if they would come and see the support from the glbt community and get to know people who loved Marcie for who she was. I'm feeling alot of anger toward them right now. Our parents are supposed to love of for who we are not who they think we should be.

    I'm got up at 3:30 am. Couldn't sleep....I'm just so upset. :frowning2:

    I have felt so sad since I heard the news. Its awful to hear that she did not get the support she needed. (*hug*)(*hug*)

    On Monday one of my coworkers had a trans ftm customer. He only found out after asking for his license. He is going to start his transition in the fall. The salesman told a few of us about his customer and his dealing with him. Its a bit of a long story and this is not the place to talk about it but it did give me hope because the majority of the salespeople seemed to empathize with him.

    I admire the courage that you have Becky. Seeing people as nice as you just makes me wanna cry from happiness, I truly admire what you're doing for that poor girl, you are such an inspiration.
