Margie has been a great friend that I met at St. Lukes. We enjoyed various activities together. We kept in touch with occasional visits and frequent calls. I was so happy she enjoyed living in her apartment in Kensington Park. She enjoyed the care, activities, staff, and food. She was a great lady. She was always talking about her family. I will truly miss her. May God bless her family.

Mom, you know you were the ROCK of the Speicher Girl family. Even without dad, you taught us to make choices but we never went without. You were one amazing woman--strong, determined and full of grace--attributes I hope to pass on to others--including me :). You will live on in my heart forever. Love ya mom, your daughter, deb
