Marge was a best friend to me for many years. I dearly loved to be with her. We had many good times together as we raised our children. I remember the good times we had as we were together almost every New Year's Eve for years. Also, the times at the lake. Boy could she water ski. I know you children have many wonderful memories of your mother. She dearly loved her husband and children. She was such a wonderful Christian lady. Love and blessings to all. Karen Horton
