Irv and Family,
On behalf of The Briarwoods please let me extend our deepest sympathies.
We were privileged to have been part of the Diplomat family during what was
undeniably the 'Golden Era" in S.Florida. The stars, the parties, all those wonderful memories....
Thank you.
Russ, Barry, Dorinda, Charlie and Bob.

Debbie:
I would not expect you to remember me but at one time we shared many friends in common. What I do remember is the kindness and generosity that you and your family showed towards me. I am not a stranger to having lost a parent and I deeply share your loss. I thought you would want to know that there are people out there whose lives you and have family have touched probably unaware of doing so. I wanted to echo the comments regarding remembrances of acts of kindness.

I have only one memory of meeting my cousin . It was at my Grandparent's condo sitting shiva for my grandmother, her Aunt Celia. She had brought a cake she baked and I coundn't stop crying. She stopped to consol me and offer me some cake. I will always remember that act of kindness.

Dear Debbie, Cindy, and Jonathan,
Margie was my first friend when I moved to Miami Beach after marrying Buddy. Buddy was an usher at your parent's wedding. Your grandmother, Hattie, called me several weeks before Margie's 21st birthday. Together, we planned the luncheon I gave her at our home. We were all very young, and I had never given a luncheon and was naturally nervous - But, not as nervous as the young delivery boy who delivered the birthday cake from the kitchen of the newly-opened Diplomat. The cake was gorgeous, with one problem: He had stopped 'short' in traffic and it had toppled off the seat, leaving a large mess on one side. The poor kid was scared-silly of losing his job. At that moment, I learned how to use a palette knife. No one was aware of the near 'calamity'.
Margie knew she was coming for lunch, but did not know that 20 of her friends would be there.
We shared many good times those early years. Your mother was a brilliant organizer - Actually, she was the most inately intelligent person I have ever known. Her perception of people and events was always 'on target'. You have a beautiful heritage. Be proud and take care of your lovely father.
Irv: Our hearts are with you.
Love from Valerie and Buddy Hart

Dearest Irv, Debbie, Art, Cindy, Jonathan, Robert, David, and Michael and Family:
There are no words to express my sympathy to you all. I know your memories of your wife, Mom, and Grandmother will last forever, her fabulous sense of humor, her capacity for joy, her wonderful hospitality, her spirituality along with a heart as big as the sky embodies just a special few. It is said if one sends another living creature one act of kindness that ensures their place in the Universe for all time, it seems she lived that mantra every minute of the day... practicing those very virtues to family and friends alike. I will always be honored and so lucky to have had Margie as a friend. So many moments will stay in my heart, but most underlined will be the love she had for each of you. The celebrations, Birthdays, the Winning Races, all with Margie's special touches making each event an Occasion for the ages. The way she looked at each of you....the way she embraced her family always full of pride for all your accomplishments. For me, she was a true friend, never judgemental, never letting go, calling long distance just to tell you a funny joke, just wanting one to know she would there no matter what....as she used to say, "the soul and the light is within us,".... she can never die, her love lives with you forever. God Bless you and your Margie.
My Love,
Thea

Dear Irving and Family,
I used to take care of her accounts when I was in Hallandale, now Paula has handled things for the past 20 years. I understand your loss is deep as is mine with the loss of Bert in November 08. It is hard to deal with that missing part of you but it is apparent that many people have you all in their thoughts. Gwen Abell (City National-North Miami Office)

I, too, grew up with Margie at Nautilus Elementary and then Nautilus Junior High School on Miami Beach. I had a crush on her in 6th & 7th grade. I am saddened to hear of her death. Please know that your loss is my loss. Time will heal the wound but not fill the hole in your lives.

Dear Irv,
I was so saddened to learn about Margie. She and I were best friends in high school, which I'm sure you remember, and we saw each other on rare occasion as the years passed. Despite the fact that I didn't see her often, she has always remained in my thoughts. I will miss her beautiful smile.
much love, ina schwartz yalof

Please accept my most sincere heartfelt sympathy... to the entire family. When I moved to Hollywood in 1964, "Marge Cowan" was one of the first names I heard. Marge was always warm and kind to me and a true "star" in her own right. My thoughts are with the family.

My deepest sympathy to all of you. Marge was the sweetest person I was fortunate to know. I will never forget all of us on the sailboat for Debbie's birthday in sixth grade. She was also a great hostess for our 6th grade graduation party at your house. May you find comfort at this time of grieving.

"Mrs. C" taught so many people so much over the years and influnced so many people's lives. She was "one of a kind" and I know I speak for many, it was a real pleasure and experience just knowning and learing from her.
