Rod and I just heard about Aunt Margie passing away. We had not heard. She was a lady with a sparkle, a great laugh and brown eyes that were memorable. Her Jack welcomed her to good place....Peace. Shirley and Rod

Carol and family:
We lived near you on South 44th Street and my mother, Meredith, was so fond of your mother. Meredith and I also were fond of Marjorie Stapleton Olney. Many connections between us across the years. Sending you warm regards and sympathy on your loss.
