"I only had the pleasure of being with Marge twice but I feel like I knew her for years. I we had the greatest time when she & Lowell visited us with Lori & David. We went to the dog race track & had the best time. My sister has always said Marge was the greatest mother-in-law. She lived a great life I think & was dearly loved. Prayers to the entire family.

"I have such wonderful memories of Marge when she visited California. Beverly and I enjoyed having tea at a lovely teahouse and just spending time with her at the Hatch home. She was a gracious lady, and simply stated - she was fun to spend time with. I will miss those wonderful warm visits. Marge leaves an amazing family of loving children, grandchildren, and a great grandson - she has left the world a better place. Marge will be missed and the memories of her cherished. Much love, Helen and the Tvelia family"
