Margie was such a kind, caring and friendly neighbor. We always enjoyed our conversations and time spent exploring her beautiful yard.

Margie and I always laughed together told stories, discussed world problems, discussed the books we were reading. Walked through her garden when she was still at her house. We loved each plant and Margie knew the name of each one. But what I remember most is that our time together was so enjoyable. It was like; you know how sometimes we get together and talk and eat and talk and laugh and get our toes done and and laugh until we cry and eat and talk some more. Margie, to know her, you will adore her. Sheri and Randy and Kimmy were blessed to have her as a mother. And all of us are blessed to have known her. And none of us will ever forget her.
