Dear Bill and Gretchen,
We are saddened at the loss of your mother and write, a little belatedly but nonetheless sincerely, to express our sympathy.
Marge was a beautiful lady, and it was always a delight to see her. Her ever-present smile, her sense of humor, and her interest in people and events made her wonderful company. We did notice her "naughty" side, too: enjoying a glass of wine despite diabetes. We thought that just enhanced her sense of fun.
Marge was the last of the "old" neighborhood group of friends with whom Mom (Peggy) had contact, and we were glad for their continued association at North Hill. Indeed, we benefited from it, for it kept alive the camaraderie that meant so much.
You are in our thoughts and prayers during this time.
Sincerely,
David and Karen Parker
P.S. Bill, your mother was the conduit leading to our last phone conversation. Please send us your contact information. Gretchen, we'd love to hear from you, too.

Dear Meggie & Ben,
We are so sorry to hear about the loss of your dear Grandma. I only met her once but I could tell she was a very proud Grandma to have you both in her life. Now may her dear soul rest in peace. And if ever you feel in need of a "Grandma" I am always just a phone or cell phone away. We love you both.

Love, Rose Marie & Robert

Dear Bill and Gretchen,

I am very sorry for your loss. I would often see your Mom at North Hill when
visiting my Mom there. It was always really nice to see and talk to your Mom. She was always upbeat, thoughtful and, considerate.

Dear Gretchen, Bill and your families, I have known your mother all of my life. We shared the same home town and went to the same schools. She had the ability to liven up the scene around her with her high energy and good humor. Of late years we had great telephone conversations. She was very generous in sharing what she had to share. Margaret is loved and missed.

Dear Gretchen, Bill, and families- Bob and I were sorry to hear about Aunt Margaret. She and Uncle Bill were so very generous to us and our family. They were fun to be around at the family reunions. We wish you all the very best.

Gretchen and Bill, We are very sorry to hear about your mom's passing. We loved and admired both your mother and father. They were both admirable and wonderful role models. You mother always had an upbeat and positive attitude and was lots of fun to be around. We have many happy memories over the past decades going back to the 1970's. Your parents had many many colleagues and friends who share your sorrow. They loved you and your children, Ben, Meg and Bill very much, and we hope that this is your solace.
Love, Gerry and Steve Ricci
