One of the most caring, selfless, loving, family oriented and an example for all to follow. A loving wife, mother, grand mother, great grandmother and cared for everyone she was acquainted with.
I love you grandma and this isn´t goodbye, it´s just a reminder that next time we see eachother I´ll make liver and onions and you can make the oyster dressing. I love you and until we meet again, take care of grandpa and thank you for showing us what right looks like.
Love you eternally,
Christopher

Our sympathy to the family of Marge. She was a wonderful person and a great
mother. I have such great memories of my times at family gatherings. We had such fun playing at the lot across the street and swimming at the old beach. We are thinking of you at this time.
