As a famous Dutch actor and artist received all the attention in a nice evening in LA, I found myself sitting next to Margie. We chatted all night and stayed in touch digitally after I traveled the globe. It was lovely to meet her in this lifetime and I am very grateful we met when we did. I wish there had been more time and many more moments. Blessings and love to who I am sure must miss her dearly. Lydia Muijen

To Margie's family and close friends, I'm very sorry to hear of your loss. I knew Margie through music work but was not aware that she was sick. Her attitude and great energy were always inspiring, as was her talent for music.

Margie, and everyone else who is missing her... this is my 3 rd attempt to leave u a message... i hope this one goes through.I will repeat my thoughts. The thing I will remember best about you is not about your music, but about your loyalty and big heart. In an earlier obit online, it was said that you were always there to hold the hand of anyone else who was having a rough time . So true. You certainly held mine . You were the first friend to call me when Fae passed and to check up on me. And the same w Eve. I appreciated so much that you introduced Eve to Alma and they became rapid friends while Eve was living in LA. I hope you didn't suffer. You certainly dealt with your illness with such dignity and grace. I only wish I was able to support you. Your vivaciousness lives on with all of our memories. Hope that wherever you are you can feel the good vibrations that you have left behind.Missing you sweet friend..

Margie was one of my very first friends at Wightman School. I spent many memorable after-school and weekend play dates at her house (which I can still picture!). I'm saddened by her death.

Margie was my best friend growing up in Pittsburgh. Sadly, we lost touch over the years, and now it's too late because she's gone. It's taught me a lesson about keeping in touch and letting people know how you feel about them while you still have the chance. My heart goes out to Margie's family and friends and hope that you can find comfort in the memories of the good times you shared. Like a candle in the windgoodbye Margie B. Thanks for the memories.

Dear Margie, The thing I remember most about you is not about your music. It's the comment that was made in the previous on line obituary about your always being there to hold the hand of any friend who was dealing w rough times.This was so true . Even though you were dealing with your own problems , you were there for me at the passings of Fae and Eve. In fact , you were the 1 st to call and you did several times. I wish I had known . I hope you didn't suffer. You handled your illness in such a dignified way . I hope that from wherever you are now that the breezes lift up to you all the messages of love and gratitude for knowing you , surround you. Peace to you , my loyal friend. You brought us joy.

My heartfelt thoughts and fond memories go to Alma, Joni and family and Robert and Family.
I remember being in Margie's acting group, The Playwrights. It was a hit with the K, 1, 2 and 3 Birthday parties. She was not only talented but already a smart business woman...
I feel fortunate to have been a part of Margie's journey propelled by passion and gifts.
Warmest thoughts, Jane Wolk Spector
