So sorry to hear of your loss. Jim and I would say hello when we'd see them on Thursdays when we'd come in the union club to sign up. Prayers for all of the family.

Marge and John have been in my life for as long as I can remember. I´m so lost for words, how much this saddens me!! All my memories of Marge is nothing but happiness and how much she loved her family. John definitely kept her laughing. You will be truly missed, say hi to my parents. My heart is with the Thorton´s during this most difficult time. Prayers for you all love Tim

I am shocked and sadden to hear of the passing of Marge. When I think of Marge I think of my childhood and all the great times, when I would see her in more recent years, I was always glad to see her smiling face. When she was still working and John was retired, he would bring her to work downtown and a lot of times I would see them, waving and honking, which made me feel special. Linc and Lisa, Uncle John and family you will all be in my thoughts and prayers. Love
