Bill, Kathy, and Jim,
I was broken hearted when Bill told me Margie had died. I’m still broken hearted.
Margie was kind, determined, principled, and fierce in her love for family.
I am thankful for being part of that family. We all grew up together, and I remember, fondly, our time as children and adolescents.
As we grew older, and busy with our own families, our contact was less frequent, but the bond of family was still strong. In later years, Mom, Trish, and Joy, and later, Gracie were my main connection with Marg.
It’s telling that Gracie was such a big part of my connection with Margie. Through their Facebook friendship, Marg kept an eye on what Grace was up to, and no matter what Gracie posted, Margie was always there with thoughtful, supportive and kind advice.
It always gave me comfort to know Marg was also watching over Grace. She could often say things to Grace that a parent couldn't get away with.
I'm going to miss Margie. I know you will too. But I'm thankful for the time we had with her.
Love,
Jeff
