Marge will always be remembered and loved by all of us on Journeys End. She may not have had any of her own children, but all the neighborhood children flocked to her. They had a blast "washing" the golf cart or hours of playing Uno. Marge never forgot a single child on the holidays. She was a wonderful person and neighbor. She will always be remembered with lots of love and wonderful memories.
