The angels are singing with joy that Marge is finally home (they may even be singing Amazing Grace). Prayers are with you, Georgie, Floyd and all.

Memories are flooding back! There's very little in my growing up that doesn't include The Olson's, and for that I am so thankful. Love and prayers to Georgie and Lu and families.
It's Been Charming!!! Peggy
