Judge Rudy: Oh my heart grieves for your loss of this beautiful, sweet, smart, graceful woman. I last saw you two in the airport going somewhere warm as I recall and it was then that I learned of her battle which she shared, as only she could, as a matter of fact part of her life deserving of comment only for the inconvenience of it all.
We had so many good times at Paula's on New Year's Eve parties and I always delighted in getting to spend some time with Marguerite catching up whenever I came across her.
We have her in our hearts always and know that our thoughts are with you.

Judge Coleman:
Regretably, I was out of town at the time of your wife's homegoing service. Please accept me belated but heartfelt condolences. Having had the opportunity to meet your bride I know that she was a lovely person and will be missed by all. I hope the many prayers lifted up for you and your family will provide you strength and solace.

Marguerite was my neighbor for the last five years. I will miss her friendly waves from the car each and every time she saw me. The neighborhood will not be the same without this lovely, gracious, and quietly elegant woman. My condolences to Rudy and family.
