Dear ken, Sharon, Dianne, and Glenn,
I don't have your home address, thus this online expression of our sympathy to you and your families.
Marguerite was such a terrific, caring roommate to my Mom, Doris Jean at Belmont for two years. We would arrive and see your Mom being so entertained by the birds, watch as her "Bingo Bucks" kept piling up, and I would tease her about her gorgeous clothes I wanted to "borrow".
We thank you for sharing her with us. God bless you all.
Fondly, Bill and Mary Lynn Lucas
