Dear Marjorie's Family,

Marjorie is one who I will always remember and am truly thankful for the joy of knowing her.
My best memories are visiting Marjorie with Bud and eating fish dinners in her cozy, red brick home. I liked that house!
Marjorie was special because she was like a true Grandma to me.

Much Love from,
Dixie

one of my favorite Bible verses:

Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in Me.
In My Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto Myself; that where Iam, there ye may be also.
And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
Thomas saith unto Him, Lord, we know not whither Thou goest; and how can we know the way?
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me.
John 14:1-6

Joe,
Sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. It seems that we only get to see each other when our families are both at a loss. I'm sure she will be missed by all her family and friends.
