"Linda, Jerry and family,I will always remember Aunt Marge as fun loving lady. The summer days spent at the gravel pits tanning the natural way and her cheerful smile. Watching the Wizard of Oz at her house in color for the first time. She's now in Gods hands surrounded by her family. "

"Linda and Jerry, I am so sorry to hear of your mothers passing. I was lucky enough to see her several times while I was in Iowa, visiting my own mother. She always introduced herself as my Aunt, never step-aunt, and that meant a lot to me. You both are in my prayers."
