I had a chance to speak to Marge about once a month when she called my mom regarding upcoming bridge events. I saw Marge whenever bridge was held at my mothers house too.
I always thought of Marge in superlatives; an indefatigable fighter, an unsinkable optimist, an iron resolve to overcome adversity. Just like Carl. I admired them both. There was much for me to learn and understand in how Marge bravely dealt with the onset of illness. My condolences to her family.
