Ms. Marjorie Jean DeBow

Steven, Debby & family,
I am truly sorry for your loss of a wonderful fun loving lady who helped light up my life at a time that God put us together. Now is her chance to be in the loving arms of her creator.
God bless you & keep you Margie.
Your friend, Jack Yard

To a wonderful person.

Margie..you will be so missed. I just heard that you left us..someday we will dance again in heaven together.

I met Margie in the referral department at Kaiser. I came to her retirement party at North Point and gave her a hand-blown "Tree of Life" ornament and met her family. My deep sympathy to all of you.

It seems so unfair that death should have the power to take away someone you love. And when it happens, the thought of never again being able to talk to, laugh with, or hold your loved one can be most difficult to bear. The Bible, however, holds out a much different hope. The Scriptures indicate that it is possible to be reunited with your dead loved one in the near future, not in an unknown heaven but right here on earth under peaceful, righteous conditions. And at that time humans will have the prospect of enjoying perfect health, and they will never have to die again.

My deepest sympathy goes out to you Steve, Markela, Debbie and Chris, during this hard and sad time. She may not be here with you but she will always be in your heart and on your shoulder keeping watch. Take comfort in knowing she is smiling down on you and with the other Angels in Heaven, they are keeping watch and smiling knowing she leaves behind an extrordinary family that she raised.
She was gracious, lovely and funny. I always enjoyed sitting and talking with her and just the sheer joy she showed when she was around her grandchildren and family.
God bless.

I am so touched by the memories shared here of my mom. Thanks you for taking the time to post them.

I knew Margie when I lived in Ohio back in the 70's and early 80's. I was able to see her a few times when I returned to Ohio. I will always remember her smile and gentle ways. She was a dear, sweet person and will be missed so very much.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

To the DeBow Family,

Was sorry to hear about the passing of Margie. Lost my mother in her late 60's and know the pain. Margie was a very nice woman and you will always have her memories in your hearts, no one can ever take that away. What we have once loved and lost, becomes a part of us now.

My prayers are with you.

marge a great person and a good friend.my prayers go out to you.

Marge and I go back 37 years when we were both expecting our daughters. On hot summer days we sat with our feet in the kids swimming pool. We learned to make candy together and enjoyed each others company over many a cup of coffee. She will always be remembered for her soft voice and gentle caring ways. Rest in peace now Marge.

I would like to offer my deepest sympathy to the loss of Margie. She was my accross the isle neighbor for serveral years. She was always so funny and always had a joke of twoI know how much she loved her kids and grandchildren. We will all miss her. My prayers are with you and your family. God is holding on to her right now.
All my Blessings to the family.

My deepest sympathy. Marjorie was a special woman and a dear friend. She could always make me smile with her witty humor and upbeat personality. She will be missed.

Marjorie was always smiling whenever we saw her. I'm sure she will missed greatly. Sincere sympathy Jodi, David, Madison Vargo

I remember her most for her humor and wit. The arrival of Cleveland Air Show will not be the same without her. The roar of the powerful jets over the downtown offices prompted her to stop and say..."oh, I have to go, my date is here". Marjorie, you will be missed.

Margie and I go back a long way. We shared many fun times golfing, dancing, eating out and much laughter. I will miss our conversations. Ruth Selent

I am so sorry for your loss! Marge was such a special person in so many ways.
I will forever see her dancing!
