Marjorie was more than a resident I took care of she was my BEST FRIEND!! I feel honored to have gotten the chance to know her on a personal level. Marj helped me alot with my personal life problems and when I was feeling bad she always made me feel better, with her precious hugs, kisses, and words of hope. Many times she had me in tears, telling me how much she cared about me and loved me and that everything in my life was going to work out for the best, she promised. Even when her mind was not there she still knew how I was feeling that specific day. I had some spiritual experiences with marjorie over the past few months that have affected my life dramatically and I will never forget. I am not a spiritual person and she made me truely believe in my heart that we do go to a better, more beautiful place when we pass. I love marjorie very much and I will never forget the impact she has had on my life. She was the most beautiful, sweet, loving lady I have ever met in my life. Thanks to the family for allowing her to live at Legacy House Assisted living. She was loved by everyone who knew her…
Love Always
