Mike and Marty,
My family and I regret your recent loss. We are sure your faith and happy memories will carry the day. Your Mom and Dad helped make Parkside a great place to be a kid. There remains many fond memories of our friends there.

Dear Mike and Marty,
So Sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. I have known her as my Aunt Marjorie, since she is my mother, Dorothy Dery McMillan's half sister. I feel sad about the story of the beginning of her life and all of the loss for her. I don't understand the choices made, but I guess it was different then. I'm glad my mom always stayed in touch with your mother. So nice to hear all of the wonderful things people have to say about your mother. She is an inspiration! Take Care! Please keep in touch. Kathy McMillan Saval, 24804 Upland Hill, Novi, MI 48375, [email protected]
Your Cousin,
Kathy

Marge was one of the most loyal and caring friends anyone could hope for. Her life was centered on helping others, always putting herself last. Our long friendship, as well as that of her husband, Stan, spanned over fifty years providing us with many wonderful memories that we will continue to cherish. The world is a much kinder place because of Marge and she will be missed. Our thoughts are with Mike and Marty and her many grandchildren whom she loved so very much.

Marjorie was a dear friend at Swan Creek to my mother, Myrtle. I had a wonderful visit with Majorie at Swan Creek's Christmas party on Dec 4th where my husband was Santa. So good to see her again. She was very kind and caring lady. Our deepest sympathy to you her family.
God Bless. -Mary and Charlie Carr

Margie was a dear friend to my mother, Sophie Sitek, and we had the pleasure of spending nice times together with her. Three years ago, she spent Christmas Day with us at our home. Just today, we received a Christmas card from her, which said, among other things, that . . . "All is well" . . . And now, this is especially true, as she is free of her illness and at rest, and reunited with her dear husband she so often spoke of. Margie was a sweet, lovely, caring, and fun lady. We will certainly never forget her. We extend our sincerest sympathy to the family.

I just received a Christmas card from Marjorie, telling me that she has moved to Perrysburg. Cathy, my daughter, said we could pick her up for lunch and visit. I guess God had another idea. My prayers and thoughts are with you at this sorrowful time.

Marty and Ella anf the entire Zielinski, my thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of sorrow and saying she is now in a better place does not stop the pain you are feeling now. I will be thinking of you all

There aren't enough words to express the sadness. The only joy is in knowing that Aunt Marge isn't in pain any more! She has gone to the Zielinski reunion in the sky :) Hope they are having a blast.
Love to you all, Linda & Mike and Family

I worked with your mother in the 70's at St Vincents. She was my head nurse. As a nursing assistant then RN, she taught me so much. I have been able to take that knowledge and use it over the years for my patients' care. My prayers and thoughts are with you.

I just finished and mailed our Christmas cards, including one to your mom. We always looked forward to hearing from her at Christmas time. We are saddened to hear of her passing and have many good memories of Dorian and May. We send you our sincere sympathy.

The world has lost a wonderful person, and I have lost a great friend. Her pain is now over, but her joy is just beginning! That makes things a little easier. My prayers are with you Marge and with your family here.
