Stumphauzer family-
I'm so sorry for your loss, margeau means alot to my family and i she was always there for us, she took care of us as if we were her family, she treated me like i was the little sister she never had. I will always remeber her, along with her smile and the jokes she shared with me. I learned alot from the 4months she lived with us that to always love yourself for who you are, and that as long as she was around there was nothing for me to worry about. She is always in my memory and has a special place in my heart. One thing i will never forget is how we both would stay up all night and play the wii and do just dance, we also both had dimples and she told me that , "when i was born the angels from heaven came down and put them there and said i was the most beautiful baby alive" i miss her so much my prayers go out too you guys.
I love you all. If you need anything my mom is just a phone call away.

Dearest Ken, Gail & Family,
We are embracing you with Love & Light at this difficult time. I had the privilege of knowing beautiful Margeau from Lorain Catholic where I was Asst. Soccer Coach with Fr. G. She was filled with an abundance of love, compassion and high energy. I had many warm and fun conversations during the soccer season with her. Margeau had a life force that lit up a room when she entered: her beauty, authenticity, compassion and big heart was transparent. I feel very privileged to have known Margeau personally. She now has left this earth & has gone on in her spiritual journey. Please know that your loved one touched my heart and will be remembered with Love. Wishing you faith, strength & peace !

To hear of Margeau's passing brings such sadness to so many. She was a character! She enjoyed pulling your leg and then with that twinkle in her eye she just dared you to laugh with her. I fondly remember her as a student at Lorain Catholic and still chuckle at some of her entertainment on the soccer field. I really, really loved knowing her.
Sincerely,
Joyce

We little knew that morning that
God was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly.
In death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you.
You did not go alone,
for part of us went with you
the day God called you home.
You left us peaceful memories.
Your love is still our guide.
And though we cannot see you,
you are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken
and nothing seems the same,
but as God calls us one by one,
the Chain will link again.
I am So Sorry for your loss, I Too have Lost a Child at the age of 7 to a life long illness. My heart goes out to the whole Family. I went to High School with Kelly.

The Stumphauzer Family, I am deeply and sincerely sorry for your loss. I know your hearts are broken. The love of your family and friends will help you through this difficult time. I remember Margeau as a young energetic child full of life and love! I can see her lovely smile in my minds eye. She visited with us often at birthday parties and gatherings outside in our end of Timberview Dr. That was a great neighborhood for kids to grow up in! If I remember correctly, she was the youngest in your family and she and Amy Lugar always dropped over to add their special brand of fun to the mix. Margeau obviously became a beautiful young woman who made you proud. I am so sorry for the loss of your child. You have my heartfelt and deepest sympathy. How do you mend a broken heart?
