Not sure what to say?

Darcy, my heart goes out to you and your family as you bid your beautiful mother farewell to this world. My mom always got a kick out of us being friends, as she´d known your mom when they were young. Wishing peace and the solace of wonderful memories. With kindest sympathy, A

To all the Duiven family, I am so sorry to hear of Margie's passing. I loved her. We last met at the Macaroni Grill on 28th Street and the Beltline 9 years ago. She told me then that she had just turned 80 and we both wondered how that happened! She brought pictures of the whole family to show me, and you Don, told me how excited she was to have lunch and catch up. We had not seen each other since her retirement from RHS. It was a fun visit and we pledged to get together again soon. ...

Heartfelt sympathy to Don, Brett, Darcy, Marnie and the entire Duiven family. Margie was my teacher at Ottawa, and we became lifelong friends. Margie touched so many lives, and because of her, the world is a better place. Rest in peace dear friend. Love, Ginny

Our condolences to your family. You are in our prayers.

Rest in peace dear friend as memories of shared good times bring a smile to all who loved you. Cheers to fun times floating on the river with Don and you... the culinary delights of our winter progressive dinner group... attending GRBroadway Musicals where your eyes were the brightest as your fingers snapped and hips swayed, girlfriends get-a-ways at Timber lake Campground and Barothy Lodge!

With deepest sympathy to the Duivan family. Don was Ted's Art teacher at South High. He was Principal at Burton Middle, when I taught there. Ted and Mary Tett

Mrs. Duiven was my drama teacher in high school. She was so kind and encouraging to each person in the classes in which I had the privilege of being her student. Such a lovely person - God's own.

I was so blessed to have shared many fun times with Margie, and Fred & I pray, Don , God will comfort you and your family, as you relive all your wonderful memories of Margie. We especially remember the good old River Days.Much Love, Bea & Fred

Don't, my deepest condolences. I remember *Miss Tappen* from my days as a student at OHHS. She was certainly a wonderful lady. How are you. West Middle school was a long time ago. Again, my sympathies to you and your family.
