Dear Aunt Marg,
We miss you so much, no more Court TV, Gunsmoke and Bonanza...on the TV
they were your favorite...of course you and Joni every tue and wed talking about those court show and Judge Judy...
The house is so empty without you especially early morning when it was just you and Janie, it so hard for her losing you. We miss the way you greeted everyone when they came in the house. Especially little Logan when he would reach out for you with that big smile on his face, and then go for the goodies that you alway managed to have near your chair, the endless containers of chocolate...CS LOL
And then when Teri coming home from work, always saying "here's the teacher!" and always asking how was your day in that caring voice...and always waiting to hear of the tales of the day.
You where a amazing women, filled with wonderful stories of the past.
Aunt Marge it was a honor to have you in our lives each and every day..
So happy that we were able to be with you till the end..
Thanks for being there for your sister deep down in her heart she knew you were there.
Love you and miss Janie & Teri

Peg,
So sorry to hear about your Mom's passing. She will forever be inside your heart and the hearts of your children. She does live on. Think of her whenever you see the beautiful things in the world...a butterfly, the moon, the ocean....She will be there.
Prayers are with you and her.
