Marge was a good, kind, and funny woman. I remember visiting with her when she would come visit Cathy at work wearing her pink auxiliary uniform from the hospital.
I didn't know her well, but she and her family were a positive influence on my life, and I will never forget the great gal that she was. :)
Rest in peace, lovely lady.
Aunt Marge was a lovely lady. She leave behind many fond memories of good times and laughter. She may be gone, but she will not be forgotten.
It was an honor to get to know Margie through the Theatre Company. I got to know her when we were both cast in Sound Of Music. as nuns. We were friends from that point on. I still have the letters she wrote me when I first moved to Germany. Sadly we lost contact, but I often remember her fondly when I look at pictures from our plays together. She was one of the dearest people I ever met. She will be very much missed, but God gained a VERY special and precious angel. I will always remember "the short lady in the front"...shares that private joke with Margie! I will miss you dear friend.
Beautiful service :). I miss those days with aunt Marge, Uncle Duane, Aunt Norma, Uncle Harry, aunt Barbara and uncle Larry, and mom and dad, and all of the cousins. We all had such fun together.
So sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. My sympathy is with you and your family.
Just want you to know that I'm thinking of each one of you at this time of loss. This is nothing that is easy to go through other than to think she's in a much better place now..... no pain or suffering. Prayers are with each and everyone at this time..... love you guys !
I am so sad to hear of Auntie Marge's passing. She was the most terrific person, always having a smile on her face. She will be missed by so many. When we look to the heaven's she will be there smiling.
My family is very sad at "Aunt" Marges passing. She was always the bright star at any family gathering that we shared.
I know her family will miss her as she was always the "glue" to keeping everyone together, her own family and her extended families. We are happy that we shared some really great times with Marge and Duane.
So sorry with the loss of Ms. Marge with all the family.
She was quite the lady. She loved her family dearly and know all was hard to watch her to have to do the walk over but she is at peace now. God bless all the family. She made a lot of memories through out her life.
Randy, Cathy, and family, Sorry for your loss. Thoughts and prayers.
