Dear Paul and Family,
Thank you for remembering Marguerite at St. Luke's with special flowers this past Sunday. I only knew Margie in recent years when I became active at St. Luke's. I remember greeting her at church and having her respond with warmth and a wonderful smile. Tomorrow is the day of her birthday ... mine is the very next day. Dancing with the heart will certainly be a phrase to remember her by and inspire my thoughts.
