Dear Bill, Cindy, Mark and family,
We were so sorry to hear of your loss of Margie. I still remember Tom telling me how Margie got him to the hospital when he had appendicitis and Tom & Margaret were out of town. She was always there for family and friends. May God be with all of you in the days ahead.

Our hearts are so saddened by your loss and we absolutely loved Margie and the times you all shared Margie and Bill with us. It was absolutely wonderful to see everyone crowd around what goodies Margie had made to bring when they visited. You all lost an anchor, the rest of us lost a spark of energy and goodness, not to mention the good eats!
We hope you feel comfort with your sadness and feel the arms of your Margie angel around you, you know she's watching over all of you.
Our thoughts,prayers, and hugs as you move through your incredible loss, please let us know if you need anything.
Love,

Just saw your mom several times at the rest home when she moved your dad in. Had no idea there was anything wrong. I always enjoyed running into her at Krogers or around town. So sorry for your loss!

Sorry for your loss...and it is our loss too. I am so glad that I got the chance to visit with Margie and Cindy a couple of weeks ago. She was definitely a unique mom, great and faithful church member and a tough little woman.I am sure Bob and Janis and I drove her batty! Many good memories hanging out at the house on Ranchwood. Peace and love as always.

Dear Cindy, Mark, and Family,
Mom and I have you in our prayers and we will miss your mom so much. Our friendship goes back to 1964 and we had so many good times! We want you to know your mom was an excellent cook (I still use her lasagna recipe. It's the first meal I ever cooked for Royce.) and such a kind friend. May God keep you in the palm of His hand. We love you!
