I have such wonderful memories of our families being together for different activities. We shared the days of our youth raising our children as friends and neighbors. Marge was so helpful and available, no questions asked. Always a kind and generous person with an expressive,welcoming and vibrant personality. Thank you Marge for being my friend. Marianne Schwall
