To my dear family I find myself sitting hear alone with my thoughts of Margie and how much I learned from her. I miss her so very much and am thinking of all the fun we had making fun of each other only to end up singing the "SISTERS SONG" and it's true there were never such devoted sisters. I love you Margie I'm sorry I couldn't take better care of you.

Love, Nancy, your baby sister

Timmy & Family,



I was so sad to hear about your Mom. I was out of town on business and unable to attend the services. I send you my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.



Just think....our Mom's are having tea together and discussing all the havoc we caused as teenagers.



Hang in there.



All the Best,

Margaret

My sister Margie blessed my life by always being there for me and loving me unconditionally. I can remember as a little girl, actually getting really excited when she came home because she would always have something for me, or would take me somewhere with her, or just play with and be nice to me. I don't think there was ever a time I was with Margie that she didn't say or do something that made me feel special. That may seem hard to imagine, but it's absolutely true! She loved me very much, told me so often, and showed me so in a million ways. As we got older, I don't believe we were ever together that we didn't spend some of the time laughing - mostly at each other. She could take as good as she gave and was a great laugher. Margie was a wonderful, enormously generous and loving big sister and I will always miss her.



I love you very much Margie, and have peace in my heart knowing you will go on loving and watching over me.



Your Sister,

"Puffa"

Some of my fondest memories of Margie were from the restaurant at Madison and Laramie in Chicago. There was Margie, our favorite waitress, always smiling and joking with Diane's friends, not to mention loaning us money when we did not have enough to pay. Let the records show I always paid Margie back!! My deepest sympathy to the entire Wixted family, Margie touched so many people in an unforgettable way.
