To Duane and Gordon and their Families,,
Margie would of loved the beautiful service you put on for her, and all the great food. What a strong example she is for everyone who knew her. She fought her battle with her head held high, and she didnt quite fighting till it was time for her to go home... May the Lord keep you all in the palm of his hands and comfort you at this time. My prayers go out to you all .

I had the honor to meet Marjorie 5yrs ago. She was a pretty cool, honest, and strong person. I admired how tough she was in battling her cancer. She always greeted me with a smile no matter what. My condolences to her family.

Marjorie, I've known you since we were 5 years old. Even though over the years our connection was more through phone calls and e-mails, I thought of you all the time and am happy I grew up with you as my friend. You will always be a part of my family. I would have loved to have seen you driving a cement truck. That's a long way from us riding our bike to school. Duane and Gordon, my thoughts and prayers are with you.
