Will never forget Marjorie "the legend". Will never forget when she rolled out the red carpet for my brother and I and showed us the time of our lives during a red sox /white sox 4 game series on a July 4th weekend many years ago. Got to meet her mother and the longtime bartender at new comiskey

I loved Margie very much. And I know she adored you Mickey. She was a great friend for 22 years. I will miss her laugh, her vibrant spirit, her middle of the night phone calls, her total aversion to technology, and my visits to Chicago. I have so many wonderful memories with her. I'm so sorry for your loss. We will all miss her.
