Hemingways,

I was so sorry to learn today about your Mom's passing. She was a wonderful woman and I hold many happy memories of the numerous Easter and Thanksgiving celebrations that our families had together. I know that she is now with Cousin Jack in a better place.

Thinking of you,

Peter Hemingway

To the Hemingway Family,

It was indeed my privilege to know Marge for many years. She was a good friend, devoted to her family and spent her life helping others.

I know she is at peace with Jack and leaving a tremendous void for you. May your fondest memories of Marge be always with you.

Cousins, As you well know, your mother was quite a woman. Always enjoyed visiting and hearing her opinions on life. Remember a more recent visit in which praised Mark and John's mowing of the pastures. She seemed to take much comfort in knowing she was in your care. Have great memories of Thanksgiving dinners in your wainscotted dinner room, drives in your station wagon to the country club w/ mark's assignment to massage your mother,s neck and acourse the many visits inwhich a fire truck or model A ford was driven out to the wonder of all.
As you realize, your parents certainly lived life out to the fullest and in a most noteable style.
While I imagine it was her time, will miss visiting and sharing her thoughts on life.
