Earl and family,
Our return to the cold weather was darkened even more to learn that Marge had left us. She was a very rare and special person and the enduring grace she radiated will always bring a smile in her memory.

I send with deepest sympathy these words of condolence for the loss of your cherished wife and mother. May God's grace be with each of you and with all of you. The many letters of circumstance that Marge shared over recent months were insightful, animated, poignant, and always reflective of the deep love for family and friends that she lived. You have that love, and beloved memories of her, to forever hold dear in days to come.

It is with great sorrow that we learn of Marge losing the battle with cancer. I have interacted with several thousand people during the past years and am please to "admit" Marge was a favorite, I often thought of her ability to see the best and make us all better people in a strong gentle way. I am ever so pleased to say she is my friend.

Earl, Kerry and Matt, Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
