Very sorry to hear about Marge's passing. Marge and I worked together as Student Council advisors and were colleagues at St. Agnes School for quite a few years. Marge is remembered as not only an excellent teacher, but also a great person who can never be replaced. She and her family are in our thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,
Louisa Flamini and family
In keeping with Marge's wishes , a donation will be made to the Komen Fund.

My deepest sympathy to the family.
Your mother reached many hearts,a wonderful woman.
