Margie my dear friend I miss just knowing that you were always there for me. Over 50 years we were friends and partners in crime. I’ll never forget the care you gave me as I recouped at your house with an infection after surgery. Till we meet again you are in my thoughts and prayers. Loving heavenly hugs!
Oh dear Margie how we all loved your laugh, smiles and stamina! You were one of the first people I met at work so many years ago. What fun we all had! RIP my friend!!
I will miss my mom and my best friend rest in peace
Once upon a time in the 80’s, I came to your house for the weekend with my bff, Lori, and she still is by the way…you welcomed me a big grin and hug. I remember we had the best time that weekend and obviously because I’ve never forgotten it. Swimming in the bay, the boat ride and the outdoor play, Annie Get Your Gun”. I remember after the weekend, I couldn’t wait to go back because in my mind, I adopted you as my Grandma too. Lori loved you and talked about you many times through the years, I regret not getting to see you again.
Love and prayers for Lori, and all of your family and friends that’s going to miss you so much. Fly high in Heaven.
