To Jim & Lisa & family, and to Steve & Judy & family and to Florence,
Our deepest sympathy goes to all of you on the loss of your Mom, Grandma & sister. It was our pleasure to know Marge and we are the ones who gained the most from being her dearest friend and closest neighbor. Its going to be really hard passing the corner and not see Marge out there tending to her flowers. We can't wait till all those Tulips and Iris and ruhbarb we transplanted from her yard start to bloom this spring. It will be our constant reminder of what a great lady Marge was. And how we enjoyed our time with all of you, especially Judy and Florence. All of you never forget, you were the ones Marge lived for and loved so dearly. The stories she use to tell us about her life, the joy and concern she had for all of you is what kept her going. We are going to miss her also.
