What a lovely lady! It has been many, many years since my last conversation with Margie, but I have fond memories of her energy and warmth, her kindness and down-to-earth advice. There is a special place in Heaven for her. I'm so very sorry for your loss.

Aunt Margie was a funny, kind, generous strong woman. I am very grateful to have spent time with her recently this past summer in Scituate, and the family. Hugs, love and prayers to all. I have fond memories of the many times we visited the family in Scituate. Margie loved us all! I'm sure she is smiling from above. Rest in peace and God Bless.

To Theresa, Richie, Micki and the entire Delbou/Christenson family,
I have many happy memories of Monday night parties at the Delbous and having to clear out before your Mom came home (I think she always knew you had parties Theresa!). Then getting to know "Millie" at SHS, always nice, always funny but she didn't stand for any disrespect. She kept the students in line and was also a friend to many of us. I recently heard the story of the tomato sauce from Richie, hilarious. I will keep you all in my prayers, may the many happy memories of "Millie" comfort you.
God Bless,

To all of you
We were so sorry to read of the loss of Margie. We knew her in so many different ways...as your wife, Dick, and to all the rest of you as your mother and to me as a friend and the mother of a great bunch of kids. We shared funny stories and funny times at school, at Angelo's, at ball fields and always, no matter what, a smile and a laugh and an understanding of what life may have been bringing that day. She was a wonderful person and I wish I could have seen all of you to tell you all this in person.

Our sympathy and love to all of you
Mat and Rosie Brown

Mom helped me become a strong woman. She taught me how to be self sufficient and persevere in tough times. More importantly she loved me unconditionally and never wavered in her support. I will miss her dearly and still can't believe she has gone to heaven. Hugs and kisses Mom!
