I am sorry to hear of the loss, but she had a great life. She had a great sense of humor and was always happy and fun to be around. I left another message on something else as well. Hope all of you are fine and review all the wonderful memories and life she had.

She was a gracious lady. Only wished I had time to speak with her more. She will be missed.

Beth, so sorry to hear about your mother. I know it's been a long time since I've seen her but I will never forget some of the things she would give advice on. Love Mary Sullivan of Orland Park.

Marge Leib moved into my heart 25 years ago when she became my "wall neighbor" in the condo building where I had moved in the year before. We shared our families and our friends and many a weekend we played poker with our neighbors. I cannot tell you how much I loved this woman. When we would be in church together, people would assume she was my mom. We had to sit in front because she could not see or hear too well. I took her for a few doctor visits and would get her groceries when she needed them. When I told her I loved her, she would say, I love you more. Well Marge, maybe you did. I am sad for myself and the time we will not have together anymore. She had her throat cancer surgery when she was 37 and could not swim anymore. She dearly loved swimming and I know she is swimming as we speak. I loved her and will miss her. I thank the Leib family for sharing her with me. Love, Karen Knox
