Marj was a light to me in deep darkness.

I am sorrowful that Marj died. I knew she might when she told me she would no longer be able to see me. I have thought about her so many times and finally I looked in the obituaries. She was my therapist for over 13 years through many life changes and episodes of severe depression. Sometimes I would be going on about how horrible my life was and she would laugh. I came to listen for her laugh and then I would reflect on what I had been saying. There is no one like her with her gentle patience, down to earth wisdom and unflappability. She helped me so many times find a way to keep living. I truly miss her so very much. She has a special place in my heart. May God bless her loved ones with many memories.

Marj was someone I relied on to listen, share her thoughts and insights, and then encourage me to find the solutions that worked. She was wise and kind. I was surprised and saddened to hear of her passing. I appreciate greatly her contribution to all of our lives. My thoughts and support go out to her family and to Ginger.

I am shocked and saddened to learn of Marj's death. Marj taught for several years in our program at the U of A, and was truly gifted. The students learned from her and loved her. I will miss our breakfasts at Gini's, and her beautiful spirit.

I had the great fortune to have known Marj as my UA instructor, my Gestalt trainer, my therapist, and eventually my colleague. She was gifted in her ability to accept, encourage and challenge those of us she interacted with.Marj will always be with us.

Marj was a very gifted therapist. Both my husband and I had the pleasure of working with her. Unlike any other therapist, she was really able to succinctly focus on exactly what would be helpful to your situation. She wanted to free you to live your life, not create years of therapy. We were both very saddened and shocked to learn of her passing. Many blessings to her loved ones during this difficult time. We just wanted to let you know what a remarkable woman we thought she was.

I am deeply saddened to hear that Marge has left us - a beautiful light has gone out of this realm. I got to know Marge when she joined the Tucson Women Writers Workshop to share both her process with her wonderful stories, and her wisdom about ours'. Her's was a wise, thoughtful, often endearingly humorous presence. I wish I had known her better, but she was someone who, it seemed, to me, to truly be "a great lady".
Wishing you many loving and healing angels in the weeks and months ahead, Ginger...
Blessings,
