Marge,
Word's cannot express the love I have for you, I will always cherish our time that we had together.
Your time her was short but you impacted so many lives in a positive way, mine most of all. I will hold you dear in my heart for all my life.
I have done as you would have wanted, I have built a bridge to get over my pain and sadness, I am moving on. All my love forever, Ray.

Dear Ray,
Martin and I feel honored to have known your Marge. Although it had been a few years since we had seen the two of you, Marge leaves us with great memories of our friendship with her during the Scripps Hospital years. Marge was a perfect and rare combination of being a class act and a lot of fun. She was absolutely precious. You sure "sparkled" her life, Ray. What a gift you were to each other. The sunset ceremony for Marge was incredible, touching, and full. We will never again see the color purple without thinking of Marge. What a tribute. We should all be so loved and rich with friendships. As we hurt for you, we also lift you up in love and prayer.
Blessings to you, your family, and your friends.

Marge,
I remember when you and Ray first got together and I remember thinking that you & Ray where a match made in heaven. I always knew that you and he would get married. I was glad you asked me to be your maid of honor. The wedding was a fairytale. May you rest in peace & forever be a guiding angel in everyone's lives you touched.
Love you
Nancy

Marge was a wonderful person and made a great impact on our lives. Despite the many miles between us, when we got together it was as though we had only seen each other yesterday. She always had a good outlook on things in life and was of high spirits. She will always be in our hearts.
We will greatly miss you,
Denny, Heather, Zoie, and Coleman

While I was working at Children's in "Marge's" hallway, the morning didn't start for me until I had peeked in and said "good morning" to Marge. Her instant smile set the tone for the day. A good person, a gentle soul, a definite asset to our lives will be missed.

"Margie" - "My good friend" - I miss hearing your wonderful voice, and sharing a bit of "good humor" with you as we often times would!! You always had a way of ending our conversations with a "good laugh!!"
Whenever I think of you, it's with a smile and a happy heart!! Your cheerful love will remain with all of us always!! Thank you!!
May God Bless your family, and grant to you the peace you so deserve!!

We don't always win the battles we fight. The mark of a person and the legacy they leave behind is how they face adversity. Marge has left Ray with a legacy of grace under the most extreme fire anyone could ever deal with.

Dear Marge,
Though we had not known you for very long, it did not take long to know you. You are such a wonderful person with light that will shine forever and it is always a joy to be around you. Know that you will be irreplaceably missed and the love you leave behind is unforgettable.
May you always have "Sand in your shoes" (Dido) to remember us by -

I worked with Marge at Children's for several years. I got to know her best when she joined Weight Watchers. When asked she told the group she joined the program because she had had an illness. When she felt better she had eaten more and gained some weight which she, now, wanted to lose. What a humble understatement. There was no mention of her illness.
She was a positive, courageous and gracious person. She made an impact on my life. I'll never forget her. I share your sorrow and pain. I hope you find comfort and peace knowing Marge was well-loved and that she has a special place in the thoughts and prayers of many people.
Please accept my deepest sympathies.

To Marge's family: I was one of hundreds who knew Marge as a coworker at Children's Hospital. She was such a lovely, kind and personable woman. I was so impressed with her courage and grace in her battle with her illness. My deepest condolences to all of you.

Dear Greeves Family,
I was compelled to write and express my sympathy at the loss of your beautiful wife, mother and grandmother. I lost my husband to melanoma 3 years ago on Thanksgiving Day, only 3 months after he had turned 50. What an insidious and baffling disease it is. I hope your dear Marge did not suffer too much and that she was comforted by her loving family and friends. My family, friends, fond memories of my husband, and, of course time, do bring comfort--however, it's so very hard the first few months. I lift you all in prayer and I honor what you have endured. God bless you.

Ray, Kathy and I are very saddened at the passing of Margie. The last time I talked to her she was (as usual) her upbeat self and was ready to battle whatever came her way.
I had hoped for you & Marge that you could have had more time together in this life and am at the same time thankful for the time you two did have with one another as your happiness rubbed off on us all!
Ray, I know she was the love of your life and I hurt for you during this time.
I will, along with many others I'm sure, think of her often and with a smile. The same smile she gave each one of us every time we met.
Thinking of you and yours at this time,
Paul & Kathy Powell

My sincere condolences to Marge's family and friends. Although I knew Marge briefly for only 15 months, when I relocated to San Diego and started working at Children's, she assisted me in so many ways. She was always so sweet and good-natured even with the most stupid of questions. She was smart, practical, organized and extremely capable even in the face of illness. She has been and will be greatly missed at Children's.
Angela.

Ray, I had the privilege of working with your wonderful wife for many years at Children's. She was my confidant and best friend here. She was also someone I respected and admired professionally. I loved her sense of humor. I admired to unwavering devotion to her family and am in awe of the wonderful marriage that you both enjoyed for many years. I miss her terribly.
With deepest sympathy,

My Aunt Marge was a wonderful person.She had the most beautiful laught that kept her going. I remember going over to her house and she would be there (most of the time)and would sit down with me and listen to what happened at school,soccer and all sorts of other stuff that appealed to her eyes and mine.Aunt Marge was a great person.I'll never forget her,but I will never forget the memories that will last a lifetime.

Marj was a loving, free spirited, kind person. She and Ray made such a cute and fun couple. My wife Megan and I feel so blessed that she celebrated our wedding with us in Aug of 2002 and we treasure the time we got to spend with her on the boat just a couple of months ago. We will truly miss her dearly, but we take comfort in that fact that we know her spirit will always be with us.
Love, Megan & Bijan

Ray, It was always a great joy to visit with you and Marge. There was never a time that she wasn't "up", even when she was going through chemo. She was an inspiration to all who knew her. We're sorry that we can't be at her memorial but you two will be in our hearts.

Ray, I hope you can take comfort in knowing that you stood by Marge and supported her throughout her illness. This is one of the greatest gifts a person can receive from their spouse.
My prayers go out to Marge, Ray and the entire family.
