Aunt Marge was always one of my favorites. She was always fun to be around and loving. I remember as a child, my family visiting her in Des Moines. She would cook and Uncle Pete would read me the comics. I lover her house. It was always so warm and welcoming. She loved my dad and stayed close to him. I was fortunate to be able to spend time with her several times in the last few years. I got to attend church with her at a church she attended all of her life. That was so special to me. She is going to be missed so much. I loved her.
