Terry, i just learned Margie had passed. Im so so sorry for you and all your Family. I met Margie in 1978 at Mapleton CAT foundry on F Line Dept. Margie was then and will always be one of the nicest sweetest Kindest soft spoken ( Southern Bell ) Ladies i ever knew. She had a Special personality that everyone who knew her became instant friends. It was obvious she was a caring person and after cat she went into a profession to care for people the rest of her life. That's truly a Special Person with a Loving Heart and a kind voice. It was a Blessing to have known her. We will always have Margie in our minds and forever in our Hearts. Terry, Margie has left a memory for you,your kids, your Grandkids,nephews, nieces and all your Family to be PROUD of. She set such a Good example to be a caring loving person. See you soon my Friend, Louie.
