I met Marge when my son married her granddaughter, Janelle. From the moment we met I felt a connection to her. It may have been our shared love for Janelle or our shared religion, but whatever the spark, I will truly miss that smile, it could light up a room and I will always admire the deep love she had for her family.
You have said it well, Patricia. Marge and I were good friends when we both lived in Fairfax, but we drifted apart after she moved (I moved from Fairfax later). Such a delightful lady who loved the Lord and others.
