Auntie Margie will be deeply missed by Alex and me. I have fond memories going back to when I was very young and Auntie Margie bringing life and humor into everything she did and yet was a very compassionate and loving person as well. We want to express our deepest condolences.

Steve, I am so deeply sorry for your loss. Your mom was full of life - I can hear her voice and laugh and will always remember making fun of you with her. You, Diane and your Dad were her everything and she loved you all fiercely. I know she will always watch over all of you and your family. Sending love and prayers.
