So sorry to hear about Margie. We are neighbors from 32nd Street. Mrs. O´Connell babysat for my sister Carolyn. I still live on 32nd Street in my parents house. I have fond memories of Margie taking me shopping with her and of course visits to the cemetery. I remember your grandpa, Bilis O´Connell, he loved teasing us kids. He always wore bib overalls. Precious memories
