My sincere sympathy and condolences to Marge's family on your loss. I met your mother at the 9am water aerobics class at Gottlieb. We connected right away and I looked for her each time I made the class. She was so dear and had a great sense of humor. This wonderful mother, no doubt turned out a brood of wonderful children. About two weeks ago, she was telling me all about a family party, what a good time she had, and the great cake that, I think she said her daughter got, from Wolf's Bakery. She went into so much detail about that delicious cake that when I got home I had to look up Wolf's Bakery online.
Our class is going to miss Marge. I looked forward to seeing her each time we had class. She was a wonderful presence with a wonderful personality. When she realized that I lost a son a few years ago, she told me that she shared that same sorrow. In addition to all her other qualities, Marge was very loving and compassionate, a blessing to know.
You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Marge will be missed dearly, she was a regular at Gottlieb Center for Fitness, attending aqua classes there for 30 years! I know because I've been working there for that long and I also knew her late husband who used to attend as well.
We will miss her spark of energy and her laugh, she developed so many relationships there.
We loved to hear about her children and her many great grand children too. RIP Marge!
Sincerely,
Lynn Purl
