I was saddened to read of Mrs. Lamp's passing. I remember the Lamp family being such wonderful neighbors to my Grandparents, George and Margaret Nelsen when they lived on 90th Street in Omaha.

We are so sorry to hear of Marjorie's passing. She was always so kind to us thru our association at St. Paul United Methodist Church. We were always made to feel very welcome when in her presence and were proud to be invited to many special occasions in her life. I know she will be missed by her many family and friends but her legacy will live on in all of us whose lives she touched.

Dear Don and family,

On behalf of my mom, Jeanette Focht, and the Focht family we would like to extend our deepest condolences to your family. Marjorie's life was her legacy and her love was her gift; a gift she shared with many. Her kindness, wisdom, and love was an inspiration to all who knew her. I am sorry we were unable to be there in person, but be assured our thoughts and prayers are with you all. May God be your strength and comfort through these difficult times.

In heartfelt sympathy,

Dear Uncle Don and family, My thoughts and sympathy are with you. Aunt Marjorie was a very special person and I have many fond memories of time spent with her: family holiday gatherings at Grandma and Grandpa Lamps home; shopping for my college wardrobe with her when you lived on S. 90th; regular visits from her and Uncle Don, who stopped overnight with us in Bowling Green on their drive from Omaha to Florida-sometimes towing a boat, sometimes accompanied by friends or family. She was a special lady, always smiling, warm and gracious.

I met Mrs. Lamp at a Lamp, Rynearson & Associates' company picnic. It was hot and I was very pregnant. When she found out I was an engineer with the company she was delighted to hear the company had women engineers. She took the time to make me feel special. I am grateful to have had a chance to meet her.

Hello, Lamp cousins and Uncle Don. The thing I remember the most about Aunt Marjorie is how even the simplest lunch felt elegant, and we kids felt like we were her special guests when we came to visit all of you, in Omaha and Ginger Cove. She and Uncle Don came to Virginia once when I was a kid and took us out on the Potomac River on their boat, I think. Ginni, I remember skiing and sailing at Ginger Cove with you. Had a crush on Bill when I was about 10! My love and hugs to all of you.

January 23, 2009

Marjorie was my idol when I was a teenager, and she continued to set an example through all the years. I have been blessed to be a small part of her life. I cherish my memories.

I am saddened to hear of Aunt Marjorie's passing. I have such fond memories of visiting Don and Marge at the lake. And seeing them when they visited my mom and dad, Al and Betty.

My condolences to my cousins of whom I really don't know, but having lost my father a few years ago I empathize and sympathize with you.

Don and Marge lived a very full life, and they were always a joy to be around!
