August 1, 2012 at 12:00 amI am so happy to have come across this site. I lived across the street from Margie for 22 years.
She knew how to REALLY live and enjoy life. She taught me a lot.
Mostly she was my friend, and I miss her. I look forward to seeing her again soon.
Please forgive me for having been to weak to attend her services.
