I am so sorry, Jim and Joe, to say that we didn't know of Marge's passing until five minutes ago! We had no idea. I just called Marcy in Kansas to tell her, and we both feel so bad. (We don't get the local paper so that's how we missed it.)
I would really have liked to talk with you. I talked to Marge not that long ago.
Please accept our condolences and know that we both will keep her in our prayers. God bless you and your families. Sue and Glenn Pfeiffer
