Peggy, Bobby - sympathies to all. I remember with much fondness as a little guy, going to Aunt Mogie's house on several weekends along with the entire Broach clan and more. I remember as far back as Grandpa Broach sitting in his recliner, people all throughout her house which she just loved...loved her family. I know how my dad was so fond of her. Aunt Mogie now enjoys to the fullest God's peace that surpasses all of our earthly understanding. Sweet and lovely memories always of Aunt Mogie.

She just said to call her "MOM". We are lucky to have known her, she was a special lady. We loved the way she could make you laugh and feel welcome. She will be missed and remembered.
God has received a new angel and she is a peace.

Your were a second mother to us for many years although I'm not sure you wanted to be. Your brother Dan, Jerry Lucus, and myself probably caused you the most
grief. When wee all jumped in a car and left I think you said a prayer for God to protect us, which He did. Thanks Mogie for all you did for us. Don Wolever

We will dearly miss Marjorie. She was a regular at Americus Union Church, and always had an uplifting positive attitude when Dawn and I called on her, and prayed with her. Because of her faith, and God's promises, we will see her again. Pastor Williams and wife Dawn
