I thought about Margie on her birthday this year. We talked every year on that day. She is missed.

I think about Margie from time to time. In her day care the kids cooked with her. My son loved that. Even in his late 30's my son still has fond memories of her.I often tell people about her all or nothing toilet training strategy that worked so well with my kids. She was a kind, warm and caring person.

Marge is proof that age is just a number, that who you are continues to shine through. She is truly loved as she richly deserves. She is an example to all of us, and we are all better for it. She will be not just missed but remembered.

Gram and I Easter 2017

My gram was a wonderful gram. She knew everything about my life, husband, kids, and friends. She welcomed everyone she ever met. She taught us all how to enjoy life, even at rough times.I have so many memories I could never be able to write them all down.Gram was a free spirit and lived a colorful life. I can hope even half as good as she was at 97! She was also very much a survivor!I will miss her dearly, but I was so very blessed to have her in my life at 40 years old. I'll miss her birthday card and calls. I'll miss swimming at her pool and chatting. I will miss shopping trips to big lots. I will miss her over the top decorating. But mostly I'll miss not being able to see her.I'm glad she died on her own terms. I can only assume she is taking charge up there, but likely sitting at a pool with a Millers (as she called them).I love you gram and will miss you always.Love always,Kelly, Ben, Mack, Rowan,

Margie, took care of my son Abe when he was very young. He is now 36 and we still have fond memories of the kids cooking, playing, celebrating birthdays and holidays. She was a great woman. Up until this year we spoke every year on her birthday. Ellen DeBenedetti
