Jean & Family
Every time I went by the house on 30th I said a little “Hi” to your mom. Now I guess she decided to go home to be be with your dad, Mary and Jim. So many good memories!!! God love you all!
.
I was blessed to know your mother as a prayer partner at the Adoration Chapel at St. Peters. She was so sad when she had to tell me she was having to give up her hour because of her health. What a lovely, holy person. She certainly will be missed.
My sincere condolences to the Schlipmann family. As a child growing up in the neighborhood, I spent many days and nights at the Schlipmann home and have fond memories of Mrs. Schlipmann making me feel comfortable there and always having time for another child in the house. She always had baked goods and took you under her wing. Will never forgot all the great times I had growing up and spending time at the Schlipmann home, especially with Patty, Jean and Sally! What a great time we had! You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Marguerite was a genuine angel, she will be missed by many. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
To the Family of Marguerite Schlipmann, Please accept my sincere the loss of your loved one. May you look forward to a time when this verse comes true.God will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away. Rev 21:4
Marguerite was a treasured member of our Why Catholic group where her love for our Lord and fellowman was evident. We are blessed to have known her and shared with her.
