Lisa, Jerry, Linda, and Jill, We are so sorry to hear of Marge’s passing. She was a wonderful person. We remember the days of her and Wayne at KC Par 3. She would always have a smile for everyone. Kind, loving, and caring. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all and your families as you celebrate her life here and now reunited with Wayne and her Creator.
My mother and my aunts… what bright, beautiful, and wonderful people to grow up around! Aunt Marge always seemed to sparkle somehow, and now I envision her as being transformed into an even brighter light. Love and condolences to all the family.
Jerry and Family – I’m sorry for your loss – I wish you peace
I have very sorry for the loss of your mom Marge. I can remember when I was in high school hanging out with Lisa, Brad, Jerry, and Linda. Your mom was always nice and really made me feel welcome at your home. May the peace of Christ be with all of you at this difficult time.
So sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. She was a great lady.
Her and your dad were good friends of my parents. Prayers for the family.
