    I am so saddened by the loss of my friend, Marjorie. She was such a neat lady! We had many,many interesting conversations. My thoughts are with your family as you mourn her passing. Marjorie was a very special and talented person and I will miss her so much. I don't know why she and I "clicked" but I'm glad that we did! Sherri Clarke

    I just want to say how very sorry I am for your lost. I would talk to your wife, mother at the nursing home while visting my mother. She always told me how much she liked my mother. She is in good hands now God will take good care of her. God Bless Carol

    To Lawrence, Linda, Alaine, Larry & families: We are so sorry for your loss but so happy that Marjorie is not suffering anymore. We have many fond memories of her. One that comes to mind so often is the time that we went to Florida with my Mom, Linda, Jeri Lynn, & Mary Alice. (Joey, Lacey, Blondie, Dolly, Margee, & Susan). What happy memories & laughter that was good for the soul. One day we can talk to her about it again and laugh. I know she is in the arms of Jesus, now, without a doubt. God Bless you all!
