Marge and I have been friends for many years, and we talked by phone nearly every week. I will miss her greatly. She loved her family. And she cared for her horses with diligence and compassion. Through her illnesses she was stoic and determined to live her life her way. I admire her and will always remember and value our friendship. May she rest in peace.

My sympathy to you at this sad time in your lives. Marge was one of the first persons I meet when I moved to Wheelng. We used to take our boys to Wheeling Park pool when they were young. Her husband, Don, was one of the faithful members of my church, Christ Methodist. Now he and Marge are no longer alone. May God continue to bless you.
