Remembering all the good times, especially at camp--our dads working to build it, the endless cribbage games, cups of coffee, conversations, just hangin' out with family. Margie and Roland were such a part of my growing up. Love and sympathy to all of their family. Wish Bob and I could be there.

Dear Bryan, Tim and Crystal, Jerry, and of course, Ken. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, even though we can't be there. We loved Aunt Midge and will always remember the good times we had (especially at camp). She is now in a better place and reunited with Uncle Roland and Wayne.
Love, Barb and Will
