Words cannot convey how much Marge meant to me. I met her as a teenager and our friendship spanned decades growing stronger & deeper throughout. She was the best friend anyone could possibly be blessed with; my mentor, my supporter, my angel here. It didn't matter that distance separated us most of the time. Her family is like my own and I know what a hugh void it will leave in their lives as well. She is now amongst the angels above but her legacy will live on in our hearts and minds forever. God rest sweet Marge.

Wayne, Gary, My deepest condolences to you and the family. My heart is heavy with you. Marge was a dear, dear friend - a very special lady. She always encouraged me in every thing, and always prayed for my children. She showed me their pictures on her bureau as proof(smile). She absolutely adored her grandchildren. I feel like I know them from all of her stories about them, Matt, Lisa and the others. What a dear friend to have lost. Yet what a priveledge to have known Marge and to have been allowed to be even a small part of her marvelous life. She will remain in my heart and I will love her always. Thank you for sharing her.

Everyone has in their mind the picture of Aunt Margie with her giant cookie box! It was taken on vacation, every picnic,graduation or otherwise family gatherings!She was a dear friend to me; an out-law. And helped soothe a troubled marriage through rough waters. I will cherish her forever! Jude

Our heart are very sad with the loss of Aunt Marge. We do have such wonderful memories: My husband Dan loves to tell the story of "HIS AUNT MARGE" made an entire pie for everyone at the Thanksgiving celebration. The dozen of cookies she made to take up to the 1000 islands. She was much so helpful to me when my Dad was so ill. I enjoyed our coversations to check up with the families on the phone. One thing I will always cherish is the last time I spoke with her before we hung up, I told her how much we love her. She will be so missed.
We Love You Aunt Marge!
The Paprocki Family
