It was a pleasure to work with Marcy. She was generously shared her classroom with me. She told wonderful stories and could always make me laugh. I will miss her terribly this fall. I cannot believe that she is gone.

Where do I start? For one, I'm still a bit in a state of misbelief or is it shock? I know it's been about 2 weeks since this tragedy, but it's still taking me time to digest. I can't imagine how you're coping with this. Although, when I think about it, you're a very strong person. One of the strongest, if not the strongest, and most stable (it's true) people I've ever met. Your mom's now in a place where she no longer has to deal with the pain & uncertainty that was going on. She's in a better place now. I'm truly sorry for the loss, and God bless.

Dear Jay, I am at a loss for adequate words to express my sadness for you. I never had the opportunity of knowing your mom but I know heaven just received one of the most special angels. You are a reflection of your mom in the way your treat people with respect and empathy. Not to mention the way you make each person feel loved. I am so sorry for your loss. With great love and respect Lorraine { Rainey }

Story shared: Mrs. Chesin, The One and Only

Mrs. Chesin was an amazing and a very inspiring educator. She taught me a lot in 7th grade, and I will speak for all the students that she has had, including myself, that she will be greatly missed. Mrs. Chesin made class interesting and something to look forward to every day. Her quizes were even fun to endure because in some ways, she made them into games. Was it in the book, or not? Mrs. Chesin, you were awesome. Thank you for all you have done for me, and for LBMS. ינוח בשלום על משכבו

I had the pleasure of teaching and working with Marcie for several years at LBMS. We shared a great love of reading and I loved having someone get as excited as I did when they found a great book to read.:) She was a gifted educator and brought much talent and excitement to her classroom and her students. I will be thinking of you and keeping you in my prayers during this time of loss.

To the family: Look to the hills which comes all of your help for your help comes from the lord. I am the custodian at the Middle school who takes care of the staff and children. THIS WAS MY SISTER!! MY FRIEND! Marcy always had a smile for me when ever she seen me and I did for her as well. We've many times have prayed together and laughed together. I have shared my families lives with her because she was one I could trust and count on to give a kind word. The most important thing I love about her was that Marcy had a BIG HEART! Also, she was REAL!!! not fake and down to earth..... I am thankful that I've told her these very things that I'm sharing with now. Family and friends who reads this letter, I will be praying for you. For weeping may be for a night but joy comes in the morning. Be strong and of good cheer. LOVE YOU ALL . God Bless

Marcy was a gifted educator who expected the best from her students. She not only instilled the love of learning, but taught the life skills of creative and critical thinking. Our son loved her sense of humor she shared throughout her classes. She was a wonderful giving person and our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

Gary and Jay, I feel so honored to have been a part of Marcie's life. She was a wonderful friend and teacher who had much to offer to her students and colleagues. She was one of the strongest, most intelligent, creative women I have known. She loved you both so very much and never tired of talking about you. Marcie was your advocate, your partner and your inspiration to be the best you could be. I think of all the good times she and I shared, hunting for old books and antiques, our Geneva trips together, all the lunches and dinners, the "girl talk"..... I will miss her so much, but I know she is in heaven watching over all of us. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Jan

I still remember my classes with this wonderful teacher, back in 1991. I remember where I sat, who my classmates were, and the many moments that Mrs. Chesin took to talk to us as people growing up in a complicated world. I remember where she and I were standing when she complimented me on a recent piece of writing. It was a huge moment of encouragement in my life, and I will remain deeply indebted to Mrs. Chesin for it.

Mrs.Chesin was an intelligent woman. I remember her strong encouragement, because of that I was able to exceed in reading greatly. She was more than just a teacher, she a motherly figure who made us feel at home. Mrs.Chesin went beyond when it came to our education, I learned so many wonderful things in our 8th period class. From the holocaust to animal farm with many laughs and class jokes along the way. It was a privilege to get to know this woman. We shall celebrate her and the many years she has spent in LBMS. God bless her. I will always remember the "camera" in our room and the wonderful colors we discovered like puce and fuschia.

Our family is so sorry to hear of Mrs. Chesin's passing. She was an important person to my daughter, a student of hers at Lake Bluff. She presented a model of feminine strength so needed for young girls. Her craving to know more was evident, also, and a trait not lost on her students. She talked of her family often and she loved you all. Our prayers are with you during this time and we thank you for sharing her with us. She will be truly missed.

Dear Jay, I am so sorry to hear about your mom's passing. She was always the first to send out any holiday greeting card and always kept me up to date with what was going on with you. I am so pleased that she and Gary made it to Paris. I will keep both of you in my thoughts and close to my heart. I know she did everything she could to keep herself healthy and strong. She was indeed a woman of strength and valor.

She was a tremendous person and her spirit will live on in Jay! He's a shining example of the kind of heart and perseverance she had. I want to thank her for the article she wrote a few years ago about my mom and I. She thought we were heroes, but in reality, she and Jay are the heroes! My family and I extend our deepest sympathies to Jay and Mr. Chesin.
