Dear Uncle Syl, Paul, Jane, Tom, boys and family,

We were so sorry to hear of Aunt Marge's passing. She always wore a smile no matter how tough her days might have been. I so enjoyed going over to their house because I always knew that I would never get a better cup of coffee and pastries anywhere else!
I will never forget how good and kind she was to Vi and how often she came to visit her. There are just so many wonderful memories I cannot begin to count them!
Take comfort in the fact that you were a wonderful, loving family and took excellent care of her.
God does indeed have another angel! You are always in our hearts and prayers.
love,
Luann and Jeff
