My special memory of her was when Bruce was working at Uniroyal and had just returned from a trip from a R&D trial at a Flex light customer trial. It turns out that the contact for the trial was named Marcia too. When Bruce's Marcia called that lab asking for Bruce, Bruce referred to the other Marcia. Well did Bruce's Marcia have fun with that. She wanted to know immediately who this other Marcia was and continued to harass Bruce (all in fun) about it. It was really funny and typical of Marcia.... Collapse

Bruce, thank you for connecting me to this beautiful and loving tribute to Marcia through the Friends Select News. I am so sorry to learn of the loss of your beloved Marcia. Your tribute to her life is so loving and special. I watched some of the videos and intend to watch more. The story told by your longtime friends Greg and Margaret of your courtship with Marcia made me feel like I was there with you. I loved the hippo post card story… funny! I only had the opportunity to meet Marcia briefly at a FSS reunion but I so enjoyed seeing and feeling how much she loved you. You indeed found your partner in life and I understand the loss of that relationship leaves a large empty space in your heart. As a believer I know that you will meet her again when we all pass one and I'd bet she'll be ready at the Pearly Gates with confetti... stay safe and well old firmed.+... Collapse

Hi Bruce …
I wanted to thank you for this beautiful video memorial in honor of your beloved wife, Marcia
Swanson Capriotti. I listened to all the chapters.
It took me a few months to go through all of them but I enjoyed learning more about Marcia’s life after she left Geneva High School as our history teacher.
Miss Swanee sure endured many different medical procedures related to her diabetes and was a true survivor. I was amazed how she continued to engage in all of her volunteer activities and have the stamina to get through each day. She touched so many peoples lives over the years and was a friend to many. It was also great to hear the special memories and stories from so many of her her friends from all over the country.
I’m glad you both were able to travel together and enjoy many different countries all over the world and in the US. I’m sure you have many
wonderful memories to cherish from all of the pictures you took.
Lastly, thank you Bruce for being such a loving, caring and devoted husband and caregiver to Marcia over the 40 years you were married. I’ve been a caregiver to my folks and my in-laws, so I know what you’ve gone through. You were a faithful and loving partner who was always at her side until the end of her life.
Thank you,
Christine and Ronald Donovan... Collapse

Your photography has always been so beautiful - especially when Marcia is your subject. You show your love in each photo.
Your storytelling is such a meaningful tribute and we all know what a journey of healing and love this project has been for you.
My very favorite picture is from your 30th Wedding Anniversary - it is a picture of you kissing Marcia's shoulder from behind her. Marcia has her eyes closed with the most peaceful, joyous and loving expression. The picture says it all - your love for each other, the support and comfort you always shared and the beautiful adventures you undertook together.
Bruce - thank you. It was so good to spend time again with Marcia. I'm sure I will visit many more times.
