Dear Dick and your entire family,

I was so sad to learn of Marj's death. I first remember her in Wheaton Jr. High when she was a fun-loving, giggling girl. We were together in school through high school and I was also at Wheaton College with both of you.

I am thankful that she belonged to Christ and that she is now in heaven with Him. How wonderful to know that she is totally well and seeing the face of God! May that bring much comfort to you until you meet her there again,

Cling to the happy memories; there are many people praying for your peace.

December 6, 2010

Dick, you have been a model of love caring to your dear Marj these past years. And we have admired so much how Marj was able to carry on in spite of her cancer. Love to you and prayers for you entire family! Warmly, Karin and Jim Anderson

In behalf of both your and Marj's Wheaton College classmates and friends, and especially, Rich, your '54 Class Reunion Committee colleagues, accept our sympathies at the Homegoing of your dearest whom we remember fondly from when she first appeared so vibrantly on campus in the Fall of 1952. We all have admired your loving care for her these recent difficult years and pray the comfort of Lord for the extended family at this time. As Prexy said us in chapel: "Never doubt in the dark what God taught you in the light."

"The world stands out on either side
No wider than the heart is wide;
Above the world is stretched the sky,— No higher than the soul is high.
The heart can push the sea and land
Farther away on either hand;
The soul can split the sky in two,
And let the face of God shine through."

-Renascence by
Edna St. Vincent Millay

Marj lived and taught with a wide open heart and a high reaching soul, all of us were better for that.

My sympathies
