Hi Marge! So sorry we didn't keep in touch in life after the years at Lane Bryant. Its 2023 in our world. I drove past Lebanon Valley Track this past week and thought about your family. I couldn't remember your cars number or your kids names and then I had a dream last night about Lane Bryant days and this morning it was all back in the front of my Memory, The 53! David was one sons name, Ellen was your daughter! I loved how you mothered me at Lane Bryant..even making me breakfast on my hung over mornings! I hope your family is well! Much Love..The Kid!

To all my cousins, my heart goes out to you all in this time of sadness. I certainly will miss Aunt Maggie and the great times all of us spent during our visits during summer vacation. My only regret is not being there to tell her good buy and that our family loves her. Good by and God bless.
