I am so sad to her of Margie leaving us... She called me her "adopted daughter". I lived below her at the Memorial Apartments and from the moment she meet me she never let my birthday or Christmas go by without sending me the nicest typed or hand written cards. I will miss her dearly! She was such a sweet and dear lady.

Freddie, was so sorry to hear about your Mom's death. She was a great lady as was your Dad and good friends to my Mom & Dad for many years. It's so sad when you lose your parents, but it's the circle of life. Mom's been gone 3 years and Dad 19. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
