Dear Smith family,
I am so sorry to just learn about Miss Marge. What a lovely lady. I used to sew for her when she did her smocking. She will be greatly missed! Condolences to you all. Marge will be remembered with a smile. Judy Kissel

Dear DeeDee, Steve, and your entire family, I am saddened for the loss of this very lovely lady, mother and grandmother. She was such a pleasure to know and to spend time with. Fortunately you have many wonderful memories of times shared with her, but she will be missed by all. I wish I were closer to see you personally. With loving thoughts, Betty
