Aunt Margie,
You have been such a wonderful sister to my mother (Lois). I'll never forget all the years living at home the phone ringing every morning at 7AM we all knew it was you. Mum would always be laughing hysterically with tears in her eyes at whatever you were saying, you always got her day off to a good start! She adored you and looked up to you ever since you were kids. She talked about you all the time, she is going to miss you so much. Her life was special because you were in it all these years.

I'll always remember as a kid going to Nantasket Beach and then stopping to see you. And you coming down to visit with my mother and us for a week every summer. Now you're in Heaven, how happy Uncle Bobby, Nanny, Bampie, Aunt Phyllis, Uncle Dick & Uncle Dick H. must be too see you!

Love, Nancy

I just read the sad news about Marge's passing. I was stunned in disbelief. I use to work with Marge at Caldor's in Weymouth quite a few years ago. We became friends almost immediately. Sadly to say we lost touch over the years but did run into each other a few times. The most recent about two or three years ago we ran into each other at the bank near Southern Artery where she had just moved to from her home in Hingham. She looked wonderful and told me she was very happy. We ran into each other at the bank a few times and swarped phone numbers with the intention of getting together for lunch or dinner.
Sadly to say we never did and lost touch again.

My own Mother is now a resident at the Colonial and has been since February. I had no idea Marge was ill and was also a resident there. I am there all the time and if I had just known Marge was there I could have seen her and spent some time with her. (I just wish I had known.)
Her and I just connected as friends as soon as we met that many years ago at Caldor's. She always spoke very proudly and with much love about her family. She was such a pretty little "LADY" and a "REAL LADY".
I will always remember Marge with much love and fondness.
"REST IN PEACE MY DEAR FRIEND"
My Sincere Condolences to Marge's Family and Friends,
All of you are in my thoughts and prayers.

With much sadness and caring,
Sincerely,
Sue Helmar
