I will miss Marge everyday. We spent many hours together praying and talking while my hands tried to ease her pain. As her massage therapist I provided God's healing whenever she called. There was never a charge. I was given so much in return. Strength beyond words, love never ceasing, joy in giving and comfort. She is now pain freeand watching over her husband, children grandchildren and great grandchildren. We love you. Cindy
