    Rest in Peace Margie. You are very loved and will be missed by your whole family. I am so sorry for the loss of your mother. She is watching over all of us along with her sisters, Rita, Jean and Marian. They were all loved and all are missed.

    Dear Sandra and family,
    My condolences to you all for your loss of Margie. I didn’t know she had passed this past January. My Mom passed in January 2020. I just ran across some pictures of you and Margie from my Mom and Dads 50th wedding anniversary and thought of Margie and you. Feel free to get in touch. I have some documents that Dad had that I would like to give to you.
    My condolences for your loss.
