Not sure what to say?

I was gifted a watercolor of a rooster that is signed by Marge Eaton Johnson. When Kit Cartwright was in her late nineties she was giving away her artwork. Kit was a Camp Director at Singing Pines and she knew I had chickens and also remember that Marge was one of my favorite counselors. I have many happy memories from Camp (1952-58) and love having one of Marge's paintings.

I just wanted to say how sorry I was to hear about Marge. She and I trained together at JCP custom decorating in 1982. I was just two years out of college and she was a confident decorator and because she sewed, she knew so much more about fabric then I did. She taught me a lot .

Such a wonderful woman who touched many hearts and gave many smiles. Thankful that I was blessed to have known her. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. She will be missed.....
