Dear Bill and the Family,
I have many happy memories when I think of Marge. She was fun and had an infectious sense of humor. She was an outstanding cook and when I think of her I do smile.
I hope over time that you all will smile when you think of your dear Marge. She would like that.
My deepest sympathy,
Joyce Bill

Dear Bill and Family,
Please accept my condolence in the death of Marge. I didn’t know her very long, but she was a delightful woman always with a warm smitle and kindness. She will surely be missed by all who play bridge at Maple Grove.

Dear Michelle, Laura, and Lou,
Although I have not visited your mother for several years, but always enjoyed our phone calls. We had such good times in Pennsylvania. Marge was always a good friend and companion.
She loved all of you so much and was very proud of you. Of course the grandchildren were the apple of her eye. She has left us too soon, but she had a good time while she was here!. Her sense of fun and humor endeared her to everyone she met.
Blessings,

Dear Bill and Family,
We are so very sorry to hear that Marge died. Our thoughts are with you and your loved ones and we are sorry not to be able to attend the Memorial Mass on Wednesday.
We have known Marge for many years and always admired her humor, her cooking and being such a wonderful host. She was a very special friend and I loved our adventure trips to Palm Beach. We both loved to watch people and enjoyed good food. We always made our little trips lots of fun and Marge was so much fun.
We loved the many Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners at your home and we especially enjoyed the peaches and her fabulous corn – what a treat.
I am so proud to have known her and will miss her dearly.
Bill, we hope you come to Florida soon and then we have to go to Cafe L’Europe and have a Lobster Sandwich in her memory.
Hope to see you soon.
Love to all, Bob and Christa
