"To a Special Lady who I referred to as "GirlFriend" you will be missed. I've enjoyed all the times I spent with you and helping to take care of you was always a pleasure and never a chore. You and Vincent was truly Good People. And how special you were to my grandson Brendan who loved you and took you passing very hard, and to my wonderful, special daughter Cherise who took such wonderful care of you and loved you like a mother, The two of you had a special bond that came with the love, care, and home care she gave you all with a smile and always from her heart. I love and admire you Cherise for all that you are..... I'm so proud of you for the wonderful Wife, Mother, and Daughter in Law you became. The special bond you and I have has been shared with Margie, you gave it your all and I'm so proud of you. Margie will be missed by all that touched her life. She's now with her Vincent and daughter Michele in a better place. I write this with a heavy heart, and pray that Jerome, Cherise and Kathy will have a difficult time ahead of them dealing with the loss. Her smile and memories will be with you all."

Tributes
"I am so sorry for your loss. Although I'm unable to be with you in body Jerome and Cherise, you are in my heart and prayers. Marge was a beautiful person, a "real lady"! I remember Vince speaking of her so dearly...the love of his life - how fortunate to be able to say that and truly mean it. Her memories will live on through her children and grandchildren who love her. Always CELEBRATE her birthday....it's a great feeling! Taking care of a parent is a real blessing....you'll realize that now. Love you"
"As I pay tribute to Marjorie Ravenna; I would be remiss if I didn't state that she was a loving individual. Growing up, I recall the numerous times I spent with her son, Jerome Ravenna; MY Best Friend in life. She was always interested in others, and how I was, and how my family was doing. Marjorie Ravenna had a good sense of humor, too. I admire Jerome, and Cherise for ALL their personal care, love, and attention to this incredible woman. I, too, know of the sacrifice needed to provide home care for your parent. Mrs. Ravenna, say "Hi" to my parents for me up there. I am SURE they welcome you with open arms, and an open heart. Thank you for everything, Mrs. R. Love......always!"
"So sorry about your loss. Margie was very fortunate to spend her final years in your home. It was always apparent how special she was to your family. She will be missed. Try to find comfort in the fact that she is at peace now. "
"My favorite memories of Marjorie are of her always looking absolutely beautiful like she had just been to the salon.
