Well “Doe”, it’s hard to believe that it has been 4 years, think of you so often that In many ways it seems like only yesterday. I have tried, in a small way , to support our favorite casinos, but it’s just not the same without you! Most importantly have tried to keep an eye on those little devils of yours, Kristen and Brendan. Miss you, Linda

Dear Kristen and Brendan,
I am so very very sorry for the loss of your Mom. Marge was a wonderful person--funny, smart and kind. She was always so proud of you and loved you so much.
Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.

I was so surprised to hear the news of your passing. I have such great memories of your NH History class when I was a student at Memorial. I would see you from time to time tending the grave of your beloved husband. My deepest sympathies to your son and daughter and other family members.

I had the opportunity to work with Marge as a colleague in the Social Studies Department at Memorial High School. Her sense of humor as well as her kindness in interacting with others, especially with students, was notable. She was a "difference maker"

My love and prayers are with you all. I have such fond memories of late night Leidemer card games where I was the "spectator", and laughter filled the room until the early morning hours.
Thank you, Margie, for being a wonderful sister-in-law. I respect and admire your grace in your life and your death.
I love you.
