Jim,Andrea, and family.
We are sorry to hear the loss of my friend and neighbor Margie. For 6 years she has been a wonderful and delightful neighbor sharing her past memories with me about the hard times growing up Springfield during the depression. I could sit and listen to her stories trying to imagine how it was back in the early years. She will be fondly remembered as I too grow old and still live in my community. Goodspeed Marge.
