The Franklin family will miss Marge as we have missed Carlton. They were both good and faithful friends to our parents, Ransom and Eloise, and their lives (and ours) were richer for their friendship. Marge's good humor and generosity and thoughtful service to others made the world a better place for many. Our sincere sympathy to her family.
