Dear Larry and Jimmy,
Ed and I are so sorry for your loss. We were extremely fond of both your Mom and Dad. We always found Margie to be very happy go lucky and a real hard worker. One time I remember in particular was when your Dad asked her to pick the "balls" at bingo. Just sitting there was something that didn't interest your Mom - so the whole time she kept singing "A Little Brown Jug..." It was quite funny - but your Dad was not amused. We will miss her and we hope you find comfort in the love she had for you and your families.
Our thoughts are with you at this time.

Dear Larry, Jimmy and family,
My heartfelt condolences go to all of you on your loss. I will always remember Marge as a happy and loving person. When I babysat for you boys when you were little it always impressed me how much she loved you and how important it was to her that all your needs were met.
