To Marge's Family: I am so sorry to learn of the death of my childhood friend growing up in Port Clinton on Fremont Road. And what a wonderful friend she was! Then to meet her years later at Bellevue Hospital, at the birth of my daughter, was a "miracle." I am fortunate that we spent some time together on a couple occasions over the years. She was a lovely, lovely lady! May she rest in peace.

We stayed close friends through the years.
Her daughter Becky sent us a message telling us of her passing. It came as a shock as we were just together at Bob Evans for lunch not long ago.
Marge was a dear friend. I'll miss her. May God give her family comfort and peace of heart and mind.
