Margie is gone, and it is an event too soon for our world.
Margie was a rare gift, her special uniqueness obvious to all she met. Clarity, honesty, intelligence, sensuality, acceptance define her for me. She challenged with kindness and purpose.

her community. Special care to you, Ruth, and to Marilyn and Virginia.

Such sad sad news! I had the honor of meeting Margie at Marilyn & Jim's wedding and felt an instant sisterly bond to her. Over the years news of her life and work always made me smile. Now over the years to come memories of her will continue to make me smile. Holding all who knew her and loved her in my heart. - Mary Ellen Flaherty (Longmeadow, MA)
