My 'Aunt Margie' made an impression in every life she touched. An unforgettable spirit with such a generous nature. She is a major part of the foundation of my family and will always be on my mind and in my heart. Thanks, Aunt Margie, for making the world a better place. Save me a seat. Ray, you and the girls keep in close touch. I want to see you soon. I love you.
