I met Marla through cabbage patch groups. She was always so full of life and seem to bring joy in everything she did. I loved reading her post and about her adventures, and all the things she would make and do. She loved hard and was one of the best people I know. She cared so much for everyone around her. The world is a darker place without her in it.. I used to love seeing her and her friend post about their cabbage patch dolls. She named one of her dolls Dawn after a friend of hers that past. She was a great person and I am going to miss her dearly. There's a song I used to sing when I was sad. It was the Mary Tyler Moore theme song Who can light the world up with their smile is one of the Lyrics. Well Marla lit the world up with her smile, and I am sure she is doing the same in Heaven right now. RIP Marla, you were a star while you were on earth and now you can rest in peace knowing you made a difference <3

My Friend Marla Moley
I Met Marla in 1994 when I was a intern for Staten island cable I was 14. We exchanged numbers and
Talked all the time. Then I joined on your mark.
We were in Drama together and we both had a mutual friend in Joe Sticks. Marla was a great person always smiling laughing singing. Marla loved her cat Erine whom she named after Erine from sesame street.
Marla loved her family and Freinds. Also New kids on the block. I'm going to miss Marla. Love always Michael Ferrara

This still doesnt seem real. You were one of my first pen pals, became a lifelong friend, and a true bh sister. You persevered through everything. I'll miss your posts about your jewelry, Ernie, and any upcoming concerts. I'm so glad I made you my plus one for the Today show and we were finally able to meet up after all those years.

I met Marla through social media (a Facebook group). She was such a positive voice for all adults with disabilities. There were over 300 comments from people who loved and will miss her. She made bracelets, hats, scarfs and everyone loved supporting her. Through all her recent hospitalizations we never thought we would lose her. She was so strong. She is missed and I send condolences to her family (and Ernie).

I never had the opportunity to meet Marla in person but we were FB friends for 10 years and talked a lot. We shared a lot in common.
Marla was a beautiful soul. She was kind and creative and a good friend.
She will truly be missed. She was loved and she loved in return. My deepest sympathy to all her friends and family and her boy Ernie.

Marla, you were such a sweet and caring person. I met you through your CPK collecting and enjoyed chatting with you on occasion. I am glad to have known you.

Marla was one of the sweetest souls I have ever met at on your mark she was a huge beacon of light and one of the biggest new kids on the block fans I know (blockhead as referred to NKOTB fan base ) I remember one night at on your mark she told me she finally got her hug from Jon from new kids I was so happy for her that I literally cried tears of happiness
I’ll never forget her kindness and compassion for others with her Ernie cards and gifts for those who need a little light in their lives
She would literally give the coat off her back if u needed
Rest easy my friend I love you my dear friend Marla

I never met Marla, but she was in Shows at St Theresa’s with our Daughter, Lisa. She exchanged Facebook messages with me every now and then. She seemed to be a lovely person, and a staunch advocate for people with disabilities. She will certainly be missed.

I met Marla through our love if NKOTB. Although we’ve never met in public we were the best of friends. Marla was a light in this world always thinking of ways to put a smile on others faces. Especially the kiddos. Marla you will be missed and I’m so glad I knew you

One of my favorite things to do was to fly to NY & kidnap Marla and go on an adventure! These pictures are from some of our many adventures. I got her to go on a train. She hadn't been on one since she was a kid because she was terrified but when it came to going to see NKOTB she agreed to do it & loved it. We went to Bethel twice, the last time last summer to see The Beach Boys & The Temptations (tie-dye pic), We went to Boston and ate at Novara, Jordan Knight's restaurant, We went to Kauffman Studios to the museum of the moving image and got to see all of the Sesame Street and Jim Henson stuff earlier this year... I made her get out of the car and take three steps at Bear mountain so that she could officially tell people that she walked the Appalachian trail. ;) And the last picture I took her to the Goodwill clearance center earlier in the day before. We went to Carnegie Hall in January and she picked out a tutu and a frog hat and loved it with her Joe shirt and threatened to wear it to Carnegie Hall. Lol.
Marla... I am going to miss you so much! More than words can even begin to describe. You had the biggest heart of anybody I've ever met in my life, and I truly believe that you were an angel on Earth. I thought that since the day I met you at the Staten Island Ferry to give you that concert ticket. The best decision I have ever made was friending you on Facebook after that. You changed my life and I will always be grateful. I love you.

Marla you were the sweetest Blockhead. We met after being matched together for a gift exchange. We talked and became friends. I learned a lot about you and we loved to share over our love for New Kids and I absolutely adored your handmade gifts. I promise that I will wear the bracelets you made me to the concert next year so that you will be with me dancing to our favorite Boys in the Band. She loved New Kids on the Block, her baby Ernie, and Sesame Street. RIP my friend and fly high sweet Angel!
