Marge,
You were a sweet and dear friend. Full of laughter and fun. Your square dancing and May pole at McGraw made sweet memories for so many kids. You were a wonderful teacher who touched the lives of so many students. I know you are dancing with the Angels now.

Rest In Peace Ms. Anderson, thank you for encouraging me to perform on the May- Pole performance. Also the square dancing group. I was so shy and insecure. It help build my self esteem.

Ms. Anderson taught me how to play the drums. I assisted her in rally round the flag. She taught us to square dance and gave us a big boost in life skills as well as nurtured our self -confidence. She played a major role in our lives. When I moved back to a yuma, we had our quarterly lunch meetings at Olive Garden . She also gave me her wisdom and approval And witnessed my marriage to husband Kim Tillou on 11-11-11. On our visits with Ms Anderson at Yuma Nursing, she was always trying to help other residents by feeding them or putting a blanket on them.
This great woman has always and will always be in our hearts and memories.
