I will miss you Aunt Marge. But now you are with all your brothers and sisters and Uncle Bud having a grand time. I will always remember you for your kindness and your words of wisdom.

Dear Marge,
Thank you for welcoming me into your family after my mother died. In my heart, you were never just my sister's mother-in-law. You were more like a dear auntie and friend making sure I was fed, cared for, and felt love. You were the one who showed me how to fold fitted sheets. I remember this each time I launder the bedding. Thank you for being so kind to this motherless child.

Marg and Bud were friends and neighbors of my Mom & Dad, Lois and Walter Smith, for many years. The four of them are now together again for a joyful reunion. Marg was simply a wonderful woman, with a heart of gold. I can still hear her laughter. She will be missed by everyone who knew her. Our sincere condolences to her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Kathy, Larry, & Maureen and families,
So very sorry to hear about Marge's passing. I have great memories of having her for a neighbor for ten years, the craft night get togethers and her fantastic cooking and baking skills. I pray that your memories of your Mom will help you through this difficult time.
