Margie,
She was a very special woman to me and my son.
We laughed,talked and sometimes we looked for Don. He was down scratching tickets.
She loved pinwheels.I would put them up in her yard so she could look at them out her window.
We will miss her.It won’t be the same looking over at her house.
The pinwheels will stay up for a while in her memory.
Love you Margie🩷
My condolences 🙏 to “my family” in Mass. Margie was my dear cousin and we shared so many memories in our life time. Always kidded about me being the youngest of all the cousins.
I will always be very close to her family.
All my love & God’s Blessings .

Bobby, Nancy and family,
I was sorry to hear of your mom’s passing, although she lasted longer than we had anticipated after her updates last year. It’s always difficult when a parent passes and, I think harder when the second parent goes. Marge was the last of her generation in our immediate family. Now we are the oldest ones and some of ours have already passed.
One of the last times I heard from your mother, Aunt Marge, she sent me a photo from her wedding album, which she said was falling apart, of me as a youngster at her wedding, which she thought I would enjoy. It was very thoughtful of her.
I’m sorry I couldn’t make it to her memorial service.
My heart goes out to you in this time of grief and I hope you will find peace in the midst of this loss.
With my deepest sympathy,
Carol Edwards
