Not sure what to say?

Didn't know her well, still miss her...lov you guys,Hey Jimi,have a Great Christmas!

Remembering my Aunt Marge with love on this anniversary date- she was a wonderful person who is missed. Love form Jana and Red

Marge was incredibly honest, pleasant and hard working. She was the consummate real estate professional and always reliable, responsive and courteous. A good person. May she rest in peace and her memory be a blessing.

A college grad when women didn't 'need' college; a mother to a large family; an icon in the real estate industry, beginning her career when women Realtors were a rarity; a creative and visionary force in the community - what a blessing to all the lives she touched.God's peace to the whole family. Thinking of Jim and Marianne especially...

I am truly sorry for your loss, she will be greatly missed.

I went into real estate when my husband was stationed here in the early 70's and even tho I did not work in the same area, I began hearing about Marge Reid. We were transferred so fast forward almost 30 years and we came back. By then the words real estate were synonymous with Marge Reid. What an amazing gracious lady. She definitely elevated the profession in the Sacramento area and will be greatly missed. Condolences to her family.

I did most of marge's termite inspections for the last 20 years. I really enjoyed her company as she would often invite me over to her house to look at something wrong with the house or just to sit and talk at the kitchen table.
Words can't describe how much I will miss her. Marge was one in a million among human beings and truly an icon in Sacramento real estate.
My condolences to her family. She spoke highly of you all.

Upon meeting Marge Reid, I remember feeling a little nervous. She was so well known and I wasn't sure if she would want to sell my small house. We made eye contact, she smiled that beautiful smile, and I realized that she was a really delightful person. Her quick wit, her integrity, her work ethic, and her magnetic personality made quite an impression on me. She taught me a lot in the 4 years I knew her. I will never, ever forget her.

Marge was an inspiration to me during my real estate career in the 70's to helping me with my later real estate purchases. She was the most creative thoughtful hard working realtor I have ever known, and I have known many. She will be missed. May God's love surround her and peace be with the family.
