"I was so sorry to learn of Marge's passing. As a young teacher at Yahara School, I admired her positive attitude and friendly demeanor. I always thought that I would like to be like Marge "when I grew up." What a lady, what a kind soul. With sympathy, Karen Kaminsky"

"MY DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO ALL OF MARGE'S CHILDREN AND FAMILIES. YOUR MOTHER, MARGE, AS WE ALL CALLED HER IN THE GRAND SQUARES CLUB WAS A WONDERFUL PESON. SHE ALWAYS HAD A SMILE ON HER FACE AND WAS A "DANCER". I REMEMBER HER DANCING THE DOUBLE HOP POLKA WITH BOB OUR ROUND DANCE CALLER. THEY MADE IT LOOK SO EASY. I TRIED IT BUT NO WAY COULD I GET THAT EXTRA HOP IN IT. BOTH WALLY AND RUSS WILL BE WAITING FOR HER AND SHE WILL BE WELCOMED WITH OPEN ARMS. GOD BE WITH YOU MARGE! PAT (MORGAN) LEONARD (FRIEND FROM GRAND SQUARES CLUB)"
