I am late coming to this. So sorry. I called to wish my dear friend a belated 80th birthday and found my phone numbers were not working. Today I found this obit. What a shock.
We have been friends since we sailed together in high school. She has always been a loyal and generous friend, along with you, dear Bob. I will miss our sporadic visits. We have wonderful memories to nourish our spirits. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
I will try to get another phone...

Dear Herguths:
Please accept my deepest condolences. I fondly remember spending time with Marge when I'd come over to play with Jeni so many years ago: lots of stories, her perfect PB&J sandwiches, unmatched faith, patience and compassion. Marge was the gold standard in being a great neighbor and I am deeply grateful for the kindness and love your family extended to mine.
Lots of love to you all,

Dear Bob and family: I read with mixed pleasure and sadness the wonderful profile of Margaret. I remember her well from the days of Little league when Bob played with my son David on our first team. We had a group of congenial and frendly parents in those days. I also had the privilege of seeing Bob regularly when he was in the Sun-Times building, and I was across the street at IBM. We shad many pleasant times together there and in Wilmette. My condolences to you all.

Dear Bob(Sr.),
Ted and I just learned today about Marge's passing. We are so very sorry and wish we had known about the visitation and her funeral. We lived across the street from you and Marge for 28 years in Wilmette, and always thought of you both as wonderfully kind neighbors. I always enjoyed talking to Marge and admired her every time I saw her in church making the collections. Our sincere condolences go out to you and your family. We hope all the good memories will help you get...
