Midge was the sweetest lady. I always enjoyed visiting with her and listening to her stories of yesterday. We shared about the church and the Lord and of course, we usually had a bite to eat. She will be missed by many, especially me. Love you all and may God be with you at this time. Midge is with Jesus now. Praise the Lord. Mary Lou Portell
