You have a beautiful and caring soul that will never be forgotten. I will miss you a lot but I know that you are in Heaven with your family all around you. It is now time for the Golden Girls to be back together and you to be with your soulmate Uncle Calvin. I love you and miss you.

I will always remember going to my Aunt Marjorie's house in Lawton, OK

during the summer. She was a good cook and we always had a good time swimming, shopping and just hanging out. I also remember when she and Uncle Calvin would come to our house to visit and we got to sleep in their camper. It was such fun as a kid. I miss her, but I know she is with Uncle Calvin and her sisters now. Love you Aunt Marjorie!
