Margie and I were very close friends in high school and beyond. We drifted away when we raised our families. We enjoyed many double dates while she and Peter were courting. We enjoyed many good times at the Red Sox games, roller skating, parties, Howard Johnsons, movies and our walks to school with Janet, Alice and Marylou. We would remind each other of our memories at our school reunions, and meeting at Brookdale Cemetary while visiting our husbands graves. Never forgetting a friend's birthday, I called her last year on Oct. 17th, and we caught up. She said she wasn't feeling well. Rest well, my dear friend. Always, Evie
