Marge and I go way back with a friendship that began at ST. Mark Lutheran Church in Worth...when I first met her there I learned that she had just transferred from Golgotha Lutheran in Chicago where she was in a ladies circle with my mother in law, Anna Ambrose..through the years at St. Mark we served together on many activities and dinners...Salad luncheons, Bazaars, I could truly go on and on...years later she was in my book club and so our paths crossed very often...I enjoyed her friendship...although I lost touch after I left St. Mark...but did think of her often...you will be missed by so many, Marge...God Speed...Carol Ambrose and family...Ernie, Andy, Katharine and John.
