I just found out about Marge's passsing when I saw her remembered in Stanford Settlement's newsletter.
Marge was such as sweet lady and I always enjoyed seeing her and chating at Stanford Settlement events. I missed her this year at the pancake breakfast and now I know it was because she had already passed.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Souza family, you are all very special to me.

I knew Marge for the past 25 plus years, through my Aunt Phyllis a dear friend and neighbor. Marge was a wonderful person & I always enjoyed seeing her when I visited Aunt Phyllis. Such a wonderful lady who will be missed by all those whose lives she touched. There must be some very happy animals in heaven as I know Marge is tending to their needs.

For Marge - we worked together for 14 years and I always knew she was a friend. She was kind, funny and loved to kid. Marge is one of those unforgetable people and I'll hold her memory in my heart - Penny Wells

I remember first starting with the State and Marge was one of the first people to make me feel "right at home". We enjoyed fun times together during work and "after hours". I still can't imagine eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches every day for lunch! You'll be missed Marge.

Dear Marge,
I'll always cherish our talks in the "smoke tower" at work. You've been such a great friend. I wish we could have spent more time together, especially now that I'm retired! My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Marge, the world is a little sadder without you, without your laughter, and without your kindnesses. You're missed. Love and prayers to the family and the many friends you left behind.

Thanks, Marge, for being such a close friend. I will miss seeing you at our luncheons. We have been meeting for many, many years. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Well Marge-
I am going to miss our lunch dates and the way we laughed so much scratching off lottery tickets just for fun. We will all be meeting for lunch again, someday......
