Marge, I will miss you and our gossip session while I'm stinking up the place with your perm! You always made me laugh and always made me feel special. A void is felt. Sending hugs to your boys and the rest of the family.

Always loved working with Marge although I think we did more laughing than work! She had a great spirit and was totally devoted to her family. RIP dear friend. See you on the other side.
