I am so sorry for your lost. I remember Marge and the whole family as loving people during the time our sons were together in baseball, scouts, and all the events during grade and high school. She was a lovely person who will be sorely missed, but I believe that God had a much greater task for her in heaven and now was the time to take her back with him for that task. On behalf of my sons also, we extend our deepest sympathy.

Dear Jim, Mike and Brian,
Margie was a treasure that Terry and Darla Smith shared with me while I took care of BJ. Every Friday morning Margie was there for The Smith Family, giving unselfishly of her love, laughter and faithfulness. She loved BJ so much, I can still hear her singing to BJ the Brushy Brushy Teeth Song to him while I was brushing his teeth, making him laugh.
Margie was a true inspiration to all who knew her with her infectious smile, laughter and positive attitude. She will truly be missed by everyone who knew her. My prayers are with you as you face these difficult days ahead. All of our lives have been made richer for having known Margie. We all love her. Blessing to you. Jackie

Dear Mr. Burnett:
I am so very sorry to hear about Marge. I only met her a year ago, but feel as though I have known her a lifetime because of her lovely personality. I feel so blessed that she was in my life if only for a short period of time. She fought such a courageous battle and never, ever did I hear a complaint from her. What a wonderful and kind hearted person - I will always remember her strength and her faith. She will be terribly missed, but I know she is in a better place, without the pain. God Bless you and your Family, you are all in my thoughts and prayers. I'll miss you very much Marge, thank you for being you.

Dear Jim, Michael, & Brian,
I am so sorry to hear about Marge. She was one of the sweetest people I have ever known. When I started babysitting for your family, I was only 12 yrs. old and Marge was my roll model. I wanted to be just like her because she always had a smile on her face and made whom ever she was with feel special. She had a beautiful smile, & a beautiful soul. She will be truly missed! Know that she is experiencing true love & peace now with God & that she is smiling down on you always.

Jim, Mike & Brian,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this very sad time. All of our memories of Marge ( and the rest of you) are wonderful ones..funny, lighthearted and will stay with us forever. From soccer, where she made the penants we cheered with, to PTA, to sitting in the stands together at football games and working the Music Boosters concession stand, it was a wonderful ride with her along!
Take good care of yourselves and know that she is out of pain and smiling down on us all.

Jim, Mike and Brian,
Marge was a great person who we all are going to miss dearly. Not only was she a wonderful mother to Mike and Brian, but she also was a second mother to all of us who hung around the house (probably too often) eating all of her food. She will always hold a special place with us “gang”, as she many times referred to us.
Deepest Condolences,

Jim,Mike & Brian;
I am so sorry that you have to deal with this aspect of life. I know there are not words to heal your pain but trust that she is watching over you and she'll never really be far. Brian, I will never forget the smile your mom always had on her face everytime I'd see her from our first days after 1st grade together, to her cheering at the games and when I'd see her out walking. Her light will never leave any of us. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers
