To the family of Marge:



I used to work with Marge at US Bank. We sat next to each other. She was a great person and I loved to hear about her adventures. Her work ethics were remarkable. She always gave 100%. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

Dear Rena, Richard & all Marge's family,

I was shocked to hear about your daughter/sister - so shocked to hear she is gone. She has been through so much. I will always remember her as a special lady, always willing to help. I'm grateful our paths crossed & that I got to know her!

You all have my deepest sympathy.

With love and a hug -

Ellen
