Dear Mary,
My mom, Carol Hoerman, wanted me to tell you that she loved your mother very much. Your mom was her fun cousin! She remembers the time she, Marge, and my moms German Shepherd, Old Joe were in the Wamego Christmas parade. They won first place as Little Red Riding Hood, Grandma and the Wolf. Mom also remembers when she was 6 and Marge was a high school Senior. Marge made it possible for Mom to be their class mascot at St. George.

I personally remember growing up as a child in Kansas watching Harold Ensley on television and hearing how he was a friend of my mothers cousin. How exciting to grow up and personally get to know our family celebrity! Margaret was a beautiful person. I'm so glad I knew her!
You are in our prayers during this difficult time in your life.
