There will never be another Margie. Susan Daly Rehm

All the memories I have of our Margie are happy ones. No one was kinder and more generous, but also no one was funnier and so wonderful
to be with. You always brought a smile, Margie. I miss you. I love you.
Your old friend,

Culls, Pat:

I am so sorry. Your mom was so much more than alive, she was what life should be.

The biggest smile, the warmest welcomes, the greatest stories every single time we saw her. Find me someone who didn't want George and Marge at their table. It meant for a night of laughs and a night they'd never forget. And George would insist on the check on top of it.

Marge was the mom who knew every one of her sons' friends and always cared about what was happening in our lives. She knew every nickname, no matter how strange. She took time to write personal notes, reminding us that no matter what was going on in our lives, there was this wonderful soul who cared. I loved the beautiful notes she wrote to Erica and me.

That energy, that happiness, that fun, Marge truly was the 4th of July. We will all miss her so much. Sending lots of love.
