Marge was a wonderful sweet lady. I had the honor of meeting her through my daughter Nancy and her husband Mike who is Marge's son. She was dealt a difficult challenge of raising six children pretty much alone and their lives prove how loving she was. I know she will be missed by all who knew her. May God bless and keep your during this saddest of times. Sincerely, Bettie Coffin
