"Jane and Family Thanks to Aunt Marge who had faith in me and hired me through the co-op program in high school for my first full-time job back in 1976 at Northland Refrigeration. I pretty much know I got the job because she knew me well before that!! All that aside, my sincere condolences to you and your family. May she rest n peace. Nancy (Schroeder) Burke "

"It was my privelege to visit Marge once a month as Parish Nurse. We went back a long ways as Marge nd I were in the same circle when I first started at Calvary 50 years ago. we had many great talks about old times and the Lord. She was such a faithful servant. I got great joy out of knowing how much Marge enjoyed the cd's of the service that were delivered to her every month. There was no one who enjoyed them more than Marge. That ministry was worth it for me since Marge got to feel apart of her beloved Calvary once again. I will miss these visits, but I kniow she was struggling with her health these last few months. I am sorry I cannot be at the funeral as I am in Florida for the winter. My thouhts and prayers are with you on Friday."

"My favorite memory of Marjorie is seeing her in the pew at Calvary that was very close to the organ. We would often chat before I began to practice. Her faithfulness to the church and kind heart touched me deeply. Marjorie was a witness in my life."
