My deepest and heartfelt sympathy to Marge's precious family. I had the pleasure of knowing her after years of being her hairstylist. She was always a delight to spend time with. We shared news about our lives, families, vacations and just had fun together. She had a kind heart and a quick genuine smile. Marge was a wonderful friend to me and I will miss her greatly. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
