Not sure what to say?

We think and talk about Marge frequently. We miss coming to N.J. And not having her there to visit. She and Bill were such good friends overall those years. We know how much the two of them loved their girls and later their husbands and beautiful grandchildren. Our loving thoughts to her children and grandchildren. Gone from our presence but never forgotten. With much love to her family. Robert and Gloria Law

Kelly & Erin ,
Know you will both be laughing about your Margie stories. No doubt she has left you both with a boatload! She was a legend when she worked at ELizabeth General Medical Center . May she Rest In Peace.

Dear Hennessey family, I pray that God will give you His grace and mercy and peace at this difficult time. Marge was a wonderful mentor and friend. Many of us considered her an "Auntie" at Amerigroup. She provided me with sage and unfiltered advice over the years. I will truly miss her. God bless and my heart is with you.

My deepest sympathy to Kelly, Erin and Maryann. Margie was a respected colleague at EGMC and my big sister in nursing school. This is a loss for all.

Deepest condolences to all of you! You´re in our hearts and prayers

We are heartbroken for your loss. She was dearly loved by us for 62 years. We will miss her and she will be forever in our hearts .
